Salvation May Have To Wait

When we are not getting our panties soaked watching Roberto Francisco O'Rourke slice off-cuts of meat against the grain, we are wondering when he will resurrect himself from failed senate candidate to the next Dear Leader. 

Speaking of off-cuts of meat, ever gone to a cook-out and there are fajitas, but then you are just spending hours upon hours munching on those fajitas...all because somebody did not slice against the grain.

But anyways.

So why isn't Francisco in Iowa already?  Given how small the state is, he could probably visit every county twice by Valentine's day.  

"Hurry up, Francis we ain't got all day!"

If there is one notable difference between Francisco's senate race and a potential presidential, it is other Democrats.

Francisco would have to go on a debate stage face-off with other Democrats.

He would have to face-off with folks with stronger party credentials and policy background than him.  

His happy-go-lucky schtick that almost worked in Texas probably will not work in a crowded Democratic primary... especially if you are considered the frontrunner.

For the first time in a political race, he would be the punching bag.  

And on other side of that same coin, he would have to punch back, but it would not be an unlikeable Ted Cruz or Silvestre Reyes that he would have to punch back this time.

According to my Ouija board, O'Rourke's future is so bright that you need four pairs of sunglasses to look at it! Why settle for a mere Presidency when he could be the world's greatest neighbor!? Goodbye Mr. Rogers and say hello to 'Mr. Beto's (over crowded) Neighborhood', where no neighbor is illegal. Just take a good hit from this perfectly legal spliff, and take a trip to the "Magic Kingdom." It's a place where under educated people can receive high paying jobs and receive free health care. Can you say freebies? Sure, I knew that you could.

Compared to other potential Democratic presidential hopefuls, Beto looks pretty good. Put him on a stage with septugenarians Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. Haven't you always said that looks count? Or compare him to Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker and Beto's ideas won't look so crazy. On top of all that, Beto has seen the bright lights and I don't think he'll want to return to El Paso and talk about bridge traffic when he could be sitting in LeBron's box at the Laker Games and expostulating on CNN.

And speaking of CNN...did you check out the last Neilson ratings? CNN has crashed. The food channel gets more viewers.

If Beto is the most promising choice for President or Vice President, the country is in worse shape than us reported.
