Does America deserve such leaders as we are asked to choose?

Beto O'Rourke's dumber-than-dumb cult of personality branding  "Pollster Frank Luntz went on Fox News and said that basically, looking at the numbers, Beto O’Rourke was running the dumbest presidential campaign, well, ever.
"There’s an understatement, if there ever was one.
“ 'All of Beto was about him,” Luntz said on Fox. “It wasn’t about policy, it wasn’t about politics. It was cult of personality.” . . .

Beto Has Some Regrets  . . . "You get the idea. As well-intentioned as this diatribe was, it felt like O’Rourke was trying to cram every single talking point he could into a place where he was really just being asked about his own behavior and choices. (Like his quote about being “born to be in it,” which some understood to be a kind of arrogance about the presidency but O’Rourke said was really just about public service.)" . . .

Intimidatable: Beto Complains About His ‘Privilege,’ Agrees Vanity Fair Cover was ‘Elitist’  "White. Male. Privilege. Is anyone else sick of white males having to apologize for their race and sex?

"Give me a break. He expects this to relaunch his campaign? Because we all want a sad little man as the leader of this country.

"Hate President Donald Trump all you want, but he does not take crap from anyone nor does he apologize, especially for his race and sex.

"Leftist co-host Joy Behar asked O’Rourke if his Vanity Fair cover came off as “elitist,” even though I’m pretty sure President Barack Obama had his face plastered all over magazines in 2008 and 2012.

"For some reason, O’Rourke agreed as he cowered before the women. From The New York Times:" . . .

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski advised former Texas Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke not to apologize for being white Wednesday morning.
. . . 

I have campaign advice for Beto if he is re-launching his campaign. It is this: Beto, stop apologizing. Do not apologize for being on “Vanity Fair.” Own it. Do not apologize for having a very rich father-in-law. Own it. Do not apologize for taking Republican positions in the past. That’s what you did, OK? That’s what Donald Trump did. He took democratic positions his whole life. Own it. Explain why you did it. Do not apologize for being white.

"After listing a few other things O’Rourke shouldn’t apologize for, Scarborough said, “Let your opponents whine. Ignore the blue check marks. If you’re on Twitter, get off of it. Just start talking to voters. They don’t live on Twitter. They do not live on Twitter. Stop apologizing.” The advice came after O’Rourke said that his appearance on the cover of “Vanity Fair” was a mistake and that he never should have said that he was born to run for president during an interview with “The View” Tuesday.

“ 'Yeah, I think it reinforces that perception of privilege and that headline that said I was born to be in this — in the article, I was attempting to say that I felt that my calling was in public service. No one is born to be President of the United States of America, least of all me,” he responded Tuesday." . . .

How did these ladies feel about Obama on Vanity Fair's cover? If O'Rourke is intimidated by these people how will he stand up for America's interests? How? How? How?
