If the Dems want to lose in 2020, Beto O’Rourke is the perfect candidate

Sharpton and Farrakhan

NY Post  "Beto O’Rourke, with widespread backing, is considering running for president in 2020. If Democrats want to lose, he absolutely should.

"Nothing has been learned from Hillary Clinton, the two-time heiress apparent who, in 2016, had the support of nearly every mainstream media outlet, who entered the final stretch of her last race with a $449 million war chest (compared with Trump’s $163 million), who led in nearly every national poll, and who was roundly depicted as the rational adult tolerating a villainous bozo. 

"Just as Hillary has taken that humiliating defeat as a sign to mull yet a third run, O’Rourke has taken his loss to Ted Cruz — the most loathed senator in modern American history, once called “Lucifer in the flesh” by then-House Speaker John Boehner — as a sign that he, a 46-year-old three-term congressman with a thin record, is the one to defeat Trump.

"And why wouldn’t he? It’s not like party pundits or the mainstream media, which swooned over O’Rourke and stoked its own so-called “Beto-mania,” have reached a different conclusion.

"“Beto O’Rourke should run for president,” MSNBC’s Chris Matthews said Tuesday.

" 'The hottest thing in American politics,” Chris Cizzilla wrote for CNN just weeks after O’Rourke’s loss. “A top-five contender for the nomination.”

“I think he should run,” said Veronica Escobar, a Texas Dem who actually won her seat in Congress.

“ 'He’s Barack Obama, but white,” one top bundler told Politico post-defeat." . . .

Robert Francis O’Rourke to Meet with Al Sharpton as He Mulls 2020 Bid  . . . "Sharpton — a veteran liberal activist whose support has proven integral to up-and-coming Democrats in recent years — “agreed to meet within the next couple of weeks” with O’Rourke during their Friday call, according to his spokeswoman." . . .
Apparently, O'Rourke is just fine with people like Sharpton:
