"When Beto left Texas, he lost his way." He was pretty much effed up, wouldn't you say?

I cannot be impressed with his close race against Sen. Cruz; look at the dollar value of in-kind contributions for O'Rourke from the likes of CNN and the sheer pro-O'Rourke / anti-Cruz propaganda bombarding Texas living rooms nightly. TD

Beto O’Rourke Ate Dirt with Fabled ‘Regenerative Powers’ After Losing to Ted Cruz

Texas Monthly  . . . "But some of the few moments his campaign won attention after that came when he cursed. Arguably the best moment of his campaign came when he turned on the media, who had asked if Donald Trump could reconcile with El Paso after what he’d said about Hispanics in the past. Beto responded with a passionate “no” that included one F-Bomb and one S-word. It was a response that won national acclaim. But then he just kept doing it, like he was cursing for effect, in a manner that become a joke in itself. “This is f—– up,” he said, about gun violence. “This is f*cked up,” said the shirt he sold afterward." . . .

. . . "As the campaign tried to pick up traction, O’Rourke started taking much stronger positions than he’d taken in Texas. Where once he pledged no one’s AR-15 would be taken away, now he said “hell yes” they would. Then he offered a kind of confused declaration that he would take away the tax-exempt status of any church that refused to perform same-sex marriages. Both are things you don’t want to say if you ever plan to run in Texas again. Texas Democrats finally came to accept that he wouldn’t be challenging John Cornyn in 2020." . . .

Beto supporters ask 'what do we do now?'

Parody site, The Babylon Bee has grown fat off Beto stories; to wit:

• Constitution Breathes Sigh Of Relief As Beto Drops Out Of Race. . .  "There are still several candidates to go before we're totally in the clear," said Page 2. "But Beto being gone is a huge relief. The guy threatened basically every page, every word, every signature, and even said the white paper we were written on was racist." . . .
• Beto Drops Out Of Race To Spend More Time Taking Guns From His Family
• Nation Surprised To Learn Beto O'Rourke Was Running For President
• Beto Unveils Plan To Replace All Cars With Skateboards By 2030
• Beto Criticized For Jumping Up Onto Elderly Woman To Deliver Campaign Speech

That last leads us to what you must agree is our very favorite Beto meme:
Shop Owners Begin Installing Spikes To Prevent Beto O'Rourke From Perching On Tables, Countertops

"Owners of coffee shops, cafes, and other eateries across America have begun placing Beto O’Rourke-deterring spike strips on tables and countertops to discourage the Democratic presidential candidate from leaping onto surfaces to deliver inspiring grassroots campaign speeches. 
“ 'We were getting a lot of complaints from customers,” said Hannah McClary, owner of the Cheesecake Nook in Brookings, New Hampshire. She claimed that Beto had left footprints in customer’s desserts on more than one occasion. McClary and other shop owners shared a concern that O’Rourke’s habit of roosting on eatery surfaces could lead to even more unsanitary situations like nest-building and molting. 
"In response to the growing concern of Beto and other pests alighting on establishment surfaces, bird control spike manufacturer Bird-X released a larger model of their popular stainless-steel pigeon deterrent spikes that have a contemporary stylish look that fits in well with modern cafe decor. “Our Beto Control Spikes® are a 100% effective, maintenance-free, and permanent solution to pest candidate infestation." . . .
