Beto O’Rourke, the former congressman, says he might run for Texas governor but a Republican activist calls that a silly dream.
Bolstered by glowing media coverage, O’Rourke challenged Sen. Ted Cruz in a 2018 election only to lose 50%-48% in a narrow win for the incumbent Republican.
Approximately 219,000 votes separated them of 8.3 million that were cast.
After a brief run for president in 2020, O’Rourke, 48, is mulling a bid to challenge Gov. Greg Abbott next year even though the Democrat is staunchly pro-abortion, supports open borders, and has vocally called for banning firearms, all in the still-reliably “red” state.
According to an Associated Press story, O’Rourke mulling a run for governor comes at a “dark moment” for Democrats in Texas who had “massive expectations” in 2020 that, in the AP’s words, “flopped spectacularly.”
Cathie Adams, a former chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, says O’Rourke is “still dreaming” of a political win after trying to win a U.S. Senate seat.
“Since that time, the same Robert Francis O’Rourke has run for president,” Adams points out, “and as he was running, he proclaimed all kinds of liberal nonsense that people are going to be able to see the truth now.”
More recently, O’Rourke will now have a difficult time running for a statewide office after vocally supporting the Biden administration’s far-left agenda, she adds.

Beto, you couldn’t begin to follow in the shoes of Perry and Abbott.
Just like Biden can’t follow in the shoes of Trump.
Beto probably got assurances from the same people who rigged the voting machines in the last election and like what they told biden “It;s in the bag” No doubt by now Joe has planted his own people in the computer crime investigation divisions of the FBI to look the other way, with the Main stream media already primed to attack anyone who defies their new reality. If a vote for sucession was taken today, Texas might well leave the union, and take our Texas located military and Houston Space force with us. No way Beto will get our guns.
With all the libtards who have moved to Texas, never say he has no chance..
Oh, Beto open borders confiscate all guns O’ Rourke, go to Russia and lead a communist revolution there. We can learn about you in history books. Your new name will be Beto Lenin Stalin O’Rourke.
I guess the word has gone out, Biden is in and all the cockroaches can come out
out of hiding now.
