Low-Polling Beto Ending His Presidential Campaign
He has no plans to run for any other office in 2020.
Former Texas Representative Robert O’Rourke has decided to drop out of the 2020 presidential race. From The New York Times:
Mr. O’Rourke made the decision to quit the race in the middle of this week, on the eve of a gathering Friday of Democratic presidential candidates in Iowa, according to people familiar with his thinking. He is not expected to run for any other office in 2020, despite persistent efforts by party leaders and political donors to coax him into another bid for the Senate.
His campaign has been under extreme financial strain, and Mr. O’Rourke’s advisers concluded that proceeding in the race might have meant making deep cuts to his staff in order to pay for advertising and other measures to compete in the early primary and caucus state.
The New York Times reported O’Rourke planned the announcement this evening while in Iowa. He will send out an email to supporters afterward.
O’Rourke has moved far left to many issues, especially gun control. He doubled and triple downed on his stance of forced confiscation of so-called military-style weapons.
“Hell yes we’re going to take your AR-15,” O’Rourke declared at the September debate.
The suggestion only gave him a one percent jump in the polls to 4%.
His fellow Democrats laughed at the ludicrous idea. Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) told his party they should not take this tone since the right will use these soundbites at Second Amendment rallies.
Coons also told CNN that he did not support O’Rourke’s pledge. He believes the majority of people in Congress don’t like it either.
O’Rourke received more criticism from both sides when he said he wanted to strip churches of their tax-exempt status if they did not support same-sex marriage.
He made that declaration at the October debate. Guess what? It did not help his polling numbers. He only polled 2% nationally.
Like the rest of the left, O’Rourke wanted to throw money at other problems like $5 trillion to fight climate change or $500 billion to address something called “education inequality.”
Trump responded:
Oh no, Beto just dropped out of race for President despite him saying he was “born for this.” I don’t think so!

I heard that he going to open up a combination gun shop and shooting range near his home in TX.
The gigolo’s Millionaire Wife can fund that…….. Snark!
I nominate Beta for “AR-15 salesman of the year” When he voiced the actual position of the socialist party, I’ll bet 1 million AR’s found a new home.
What a glum face. It suits him.
oh, who will flay likeva fish out of water?
who will be brave enough to take away our rights?
who will help your fellow socialists to kill unborn children, but still fund Banned Parenthood for those who want open sex & in case you get pregnant, want us to pay so you can kill your child?
who will do & hit & run & still hit & run trying to make a living off the back of the people…
we’ll miss you bob… (not)
“He has no plans to run for any other office in 2020”
And apparently he has no plans to work in any sort of office either. Work is a four-lettered word for lefties and their layabout grifters.
Like Cousin Eddie, Beto’s gonna be holding out for some kind of managerial position.
“Nothing so became him as his leaving”
Beto to leave politics to spend more time with family and work on his “Frank the Rabbit” furry band costume.
So, does this mean his dozens of supporters are now up for grabs?
So, did they veto Beto?
All kidding aside, this isn’t the end. O’Rourke was a stalking horse for further Democratic assaults on the First Amendment.
I think the correct name for this guy is Beta.
I’ve never seen a dude who so perfectly matches that derogatory term.
Make that name…. “Beta Cuck.”
So Tex O’Kennedy loses again and won’t be knocking for your weapons.
Watch Robert “White Bread” O’Rourke convert all those Presidential campaign donations into his pocket. May he labor in justified isolation for the rest of his life.
Fades away from view,,,,,never to return,,,please be true just the last part.
just because he’s ended his ” campaign ” doesn’t mean he’s quit being a turd
….in a punch bowl…..
I dunno, it looks to me like the Dems are pushing all their candidates as far left as their wildest dreams may go, so it all won’t be unprecedented the next time.
They really do want to take our guns, and they really do think they are entitled to be our overlords.
So very true!
Beeto will be spending more time with his family. Que the wife, heiress to billions, she probably has a prenup.
Adios, Beto!
He was trying to pull the others farther to the left and realized there was farther there.
He tried, but in the end he couldn’t overcome his chronic low-P condition.
Beto probably sealed his political fate with his presidential campaign, especially in the state of Texas. That gun confiscation thing would go over like 4th trimester abortion with Texas voters. The best thing for him to do now is to pack up a carpet bag and move to New York or California.
like Mitt.
The look on her face says it all. Mommy’s little cuck needs to stay home.
Caption: With Beto promising to be home more, wife Amy puts on brave face.
Unfortunately for Baghdadi Bob Gay mayor came along to scarf up the den young white nale votes. Still see the big guy getting cushy msm job and using such to get vp if real minority gets dem nomination.
You know that Mayor Pete of South Bend, IN is being pushed and hugely supported by his former college “friend” Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook don’t you?
Drive slowly in Whataburger parking lots, as Beto will likely be skateboarding one.
Beto should run for Mayor of NYC. deBlasio is the only person to poll less than Beto.
Forever relegated to cheerleader for dem fundraising points along with his creepy Muppet wife.
Beet-o was stupid enough to believe his own propaganda.
There’s surely an opening for a used car lot Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube Man somewhere in El Paso
It was the donors who put the ix-nay on his campaign. They want more than a 2%-er.
the wife’s trust fund account dried up?
Not having the “Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch” brave Sir Beto ran away. Soon to been scene at a local skateboard park unless he must cross the “Bridge of Death.”
Beto was the only Democrat honest (stupid) enough to admit what they all want to do if elected.
Low-T beta Ending His Presidential Campaign
Beto will forever be introduced as “former US presidential candidate”. Just like almost everyone else in this country… eventually.
No offense, but I prefer “Ex” candidate…….
Like all those psycho Ex spouses….. Snark.
“Bobby-honey, will you stay home and take care of the cat this weekend? Some of the guys from the campaign bus invited me to camping this weekend and I really need some time away from things.”
Was he ever really in the 2020 presidential race?
Fairwell Robert Francis O’Rourke. We hardly knew ya’.
Thank you Beto O’Rourke! Not for withdrawing, but for ripping the cover off the ball. It wasn’t that you promised to confiscate AR-15s. It was the roar of applause that you got from that audience.
Rifles accounted for 2.9% of the gun murders in America in 2018, and ARs are a subset of rifles. If you and your audience wanted to confiscate those, either that was only the beginning or you don’t care about the other 97.1%+ of gun murders.
I vote for Door #1 on that. So, Beto, you did us all a service by finally coming out and saying what the Democratic Party wants to do. If any Democrat thinks that the message didn’t get through, you’d better think again
Which one’s Beto?
I guess he will have more time for his paint by numbers art collection.
I really liked those paint by number kits from back in the 50s/60s 🙂
