Beto O'Rourke hits ground truth in Iowa as enthusiasm flags

[austingirl]

Beto O’Rourke saw firsthand what it's like to be just another presidential candidate during a sleepy town hall event Sunday afternoon as the enthusiasm and star power he sought to generate hit ground truth in Iowa.

O'Rourke, 46, a former Texas congressman, started 30 minutes late, and the University of Iowa student union ballroom remained less than half-filled as the candidate gave his pitch to fewer than 120 students, families, and retirees before taking questions. Many of those were not committed to O'Rourke.

Can't wait until this loser leaves the stage. The pictures of the tiny crowd are delightful.

The faces and body language are classic.

   To believe this guy almost toppled Ted in Texas proves idiocy resides even here.

They don't look like they're picking up what he's putting down.

Most of the people I know who relocated from $hithole states were for Robert Francis for Senate. But I saw some Beta signs on ranches in Medina which really bothered me.

I see what you did there, and i like it. That is how I always refer to him.

That's funny (and encouraging). When he was at Penn State several days ago, he had a pretty big throng of admiring girls (including my misguided niece).

 I wonder if any guy is gung ho for Robby O'Luckycharms.

30 minutes late?  What an idiot.  Perhaps people got tired of waiting around for him!
