Opinion: Beto may be getting serious, JRubinBlogger writes
By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 1 at 10:00 AM That Vanity Fair cover story probably didn’t do Beto O’Rourke any favors — well, other than help him raise a ton of cash. The story emphasized the angst-ridden O’Rourke, the one suffering from an overabundance of self-regard . His comments about his wife and child-rearing caused him some grief in the opening days of the campaign.
Third, what little he has said about foreign policy sounds reasonable. Every Democrat is going to promise to end long wars. However, he sounded cognizant of the need for U.S. international leadership. He explained in his El Paso kickoff rally Saturday that to achieve goals such as reversing climate change, the United States must “once again reassert our role on the world stage.
In other words, democracy and our strategic needs go hand in hand. Retreating from the world, as those on the right and the far-left appear to want, won’t solve our problems. If O’Rourke can talk sense to voters and use his perch to make a case for responsible internationalism, he’ll do his party and the country a favor.
