Just a few months ago, people were saying Beto O'Rourke might be the "white Obama." Now he is watching his support and momentum collapse. If the ratings for his CNN town hall event this week are any indication of his future, it might be time for him to call it a day.

Oh for the love of everything in this world. Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Robert O'Rourke put his tail between his legs and became a beta male on the set of The View as a way to relaunch his campaign. How? Just that horrible white male guilt that every white male has to feel because feelings. Instead of giving credit to hard work for where he is now, he "acknowledged that his background and position of white male privilege has helped him advance in his career."

2020 presidential candidate Robert O'Rourke became the latest Democrat to call for Congress to begin the process to impeach President Donald Trump after the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report. From The Dallas Morning News:
"We're finally learning the truth about this president. And yes, there has to be consequences. Yes, there has to be accountability. Yes, I think there's enough evidence now for the House of Representatives to move forward with impeachment," he said in an interview with The Dallas Morning News. "This is our country, and this is the one chance that we get to ensure that it remains a democracy and that no man, regardless of his position, is above the law."

Apparently this is the week 2020 presidential candidate Robert "Beto" O'Rourke has chosen to veer off even further to the left. On Wednesday, the former El Paso Congressman kissed Rev. Al Sharpton's ring while eagerly declaring (newfound) support for reparations. And on Thursday in Iowa, O'Rourke unequivocally compared President Trump to Adolf Hitler, taking a page straight out of the far left's 2020 "take back the White House" playbook.

One in particular is Beto O'Rourke, failed candidate for U.S. Senate. In a flip flop from his earlier positions on the reparations issue, the former El Paso Congressman told the crowd in attendance Wednesday he'd be on board with signing a proposed reparations bill:

What Beto O'Rourke lacks in policy chops, he seems to make up for in fundraising abilities. During the 2018 midterms he amassed a war chest of $80 million dollars. After officially launching his 2020 presidential bid, he raked in over $6 million in 24 hours. Now Beto has attracted some of Obama's top funders and a former Obama aide.

Apparently, Robert "Beto" O'Rourke was a member of a teenage hacking group called Cult of the Dead Cow. An intrepid Reuters reporter, who was researching a book at the time, tracked down and confirmed this story prior to the 2018 midterms, but agreed to hold it until after Texas voters headed to the polls to vote for their choice for Senate.  In that race, O'Rourke lost to incumbent Senator Ted Cruz (R).
