Born to Fail: Beto O’Rourke Achieves Rare Trifecta of Political Defeat
9th November 2022
Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke accomplished something remarkable on Tuesday. Though he didn’t win his campaign against Gov. Greg Abbott (R., Texas), the widely anticipated loss was Beto’s third failed bid for public office in as many election cycles since 2018—a trifecta of political failure.
But actually winning an election would be a bad move for Beto: He’d actually have to work. As it is, the only thing he needs to run is his mouth, hardly an exhausting enterprise, and people will keep giving him money.
He raised almost $200 million from Democratic donors over the course of these failed campaigns.
There are a lot of stupid Democrats in this country. Monetizing that stupidity is one of the most reliable roads to a comfortable lifestyle I know.
