Beto O’Rourke entered the presidential race Thursday — among the least credentialed, least experienced candidates in a crowded Democratic pack, but also among those generating the most buzz. evanhalper asks: Can it get him all the way to the White House?
But O’Rourke has jumped onto a very different stage than the one he commanded in Texas, where the only candidate he was contrasted against was universally despised by Democrats.
O’Rourke counts some of the masterminds behind the Obama political machine among his admirers. They say they see in him some of the same traits they did in the former president. Perhaps not surprisingly then, many Sanders backers have taken to social media for weeks to point out that O’Rourke’s voting record is far more moderate than his progressive image might imply.
He posted on Medium about his malaise, shared Instagram photos of his dental checkup, shunned media attention as he traveled middle America, and in the only national interview he granted during that time seemed flummoxed about how to fix the nation’s immigration system. During his Senate campaign, O’Rourke drew crowds of thousands to rallies in border towns that were an afterthought to Texas politicians before him. He harnessed the anger of voters outraged by Trump’s demand for a border wall and his administration’s separation of immigrant children from their parents at the border, and used his social media and organizing savvy to channel that fervor into a movement.
