The Lackluster Democratic Field

2020 Dems
Beto O'Rourke is lost. The former Democratic congressman, who unsuccessfully challenged Ted Cruz in last year's election, has spent the last few weeks in a confused and melancholy state. Something possessed him to share images from a recent dental cleaning, perhaps the grossest introduction of a potential presidential candidate in the nation's history. He gave an interview to the Washington Post where the only specific plank in his immigration platform was opposition to President Trump's border wall. In the same interview, he mused that the Constitution may no longer apply to the United States, since we're an "empire" with troops deployed around the globe and "trading agreements." Then he published a blog post that read like wannabe Kerouac. "Learned about pump storage, battery technology, the role that production tax credits have had in making New Mexico a leader in wind energy production," he wrote. O'Rourke himself has no trouble generating hot air.
