PJM: While it was radical loon Saul Alinsky who first promoted the idea, it was Rahm Emanuel who brought the notion of never letting a crisis go to waste into the mainstream back when he was President Obama’s chief of staff. A political writer for The New York Times is now trying to help Beto O’Rourke apply the principle to his campaign, which is in free-fall lately.
As Beto O’Rourke waded through a crowd that had gathered Thursday night to honor victims of the mass shooting in El Paso, the struggling presidential candidate was welcomed as a hometown hero.
“Beto!” someone shouted, addressing this city’s former congressman. “Thank you for being our voice!”
Mr. O’Rourke shook hands and paid his respects at the memorial to the victims of the Aug. 3 massacre at a Walmart that had targeted Latinos and left 22 people dead. He then walked several yards away to pose for photographs with admirers.
Fair warning: if Beto is your voice, you aren’t going to be heard for much longer. more here
he’s up there in that pic, is he standing on the coffins addressing the crowds?
So why is all the talk about the El Paso murders and not the Dayton ones?
This shooting is the best thing to happen to Seamus “Pedro” O’Riordan.
He immediately field dressed those dead and Stinky Walmart shoppers, if I am to believe some Democrat pols, and fashioned a shield made out of their tanned hides to attack from behind.
Classy move, bucktoothed Javier O’Malley
With my apologies to Monty Python, and you all.
Fox: “VOOM”?!? Mate, this campaign wouldn’t “voom” if you put four million volts through it! ‘E’s bleedin’ demised!
B’reto: No no! ‘E’s polling!
FOX: It’s not polling! ‘E’s passed on! This campaign is no more! ‘E’s has ceased to be! ‘E’s expired and gone to meet ‘is maker! ‘E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ‘e rests in peace! If you hadn’t capitalized on the El Paso carnage ‘E’d be pushing up the daisies! ‘Is metabolic processes are now ‘istory! ‘E’s off the twig! ‘E’s kicked the bucket, ‘e’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-CAMPAIGN!!
Beto probably hired the guy.
Beto? More like Wedo… 🤦♂️
It’s Beto’s fantasy too.
How do you jump-start the campaign of a pot-induced, cleft lipped-douche bag attached to jiggled brain atop a balloon dancer on the side of the road at a used car lot?
You don’t.
This, from the ‘newspaper’ that changed a headline in response to a handful of activists’ demands.
Beto o’rourke is bought and paid for. He just couldn’t come through for his handlers.
Beto is little more than a real-life version of Barney Fife.
A Beto/Barney debate would be fun. Chris Mathews could be the moderator.
A fork jammed into a 220v outlet while standing in a bucket of water couldn’t restart his campaign.
Sorry Beto, you loser. Now get some treatment for that restless arm syndrome.
Isn’t he tied with Dumbassicus & Low Fat Milk at this point? 🙄
