Democrat Robert Francis O’Rourke is under attack. No, not from Republicans. It’s Bernie Sanders Supporters. O’Rourke suctioned up a vast swath of Democrat donors in his challenge of Ted Cruz. And even though he lost the Left thought Beto was just dreamy. His legions of adoring lickspittles want him to run for President. If the same donors are on board, it’s game on. And perhaps it already is.
Sanders supporters see him as a threat so they are not wasting any time besmirching his progressive credentials.
The main line of attack against O’Rourke is that he isn’t progressive enough. That he’s been too close to Republicans in Congress, too close to corporate donors. And not willing enough to use his star power to help fellow Democrats — and it is being pushed almost exclusively by Sanders supporters online and in print.
It’s not even Christmas and the Left already has blood in the water.
It’s been the first flashpoint in what promises to be a politically bloody primary — one that has drawn responses from foot soldiers in the Obama and Clinton wings of the party — as Democrats begin to focus on who has the best chance to deny President Donald Trump a second term in the Oval Office.
We’re so Over Him
NBC reports that according to Sanders Cultists they tolerated Beto because he was better than Cruz, but now all bets are off.
“I think this week can be understood as a kind of turning point, where — for the first time really — millions of Americans are seeing pieces that look underneath the superficial gloss of projections onto Beto,” said Norman Solomon, who was a delegate for Sanders at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
“What we’re seeing is someone who’s a big step up for red-state Texas statewide and actually a big step down for where the majority of Democrats are nationwide. … If we buy the Beto package, we’re gonna have buyer’s remorse later on.”
I’m excited about the possibilities. Who will the Clinton’s and the DNC pick to win if not Hillary? Will they get caught fixing the outcome? How much damage can we expect between the major players? And which foreign nation will bear the brunt of the blame should they lose?
