Beto O’Rourke has officially announced that he is running for President. But he doesn’t have a platform and all he’s offered so far are platitudes about being nice and healing the divide in this country. Those are impossible goals that mean absolutely nothing. More importantly, if he can’t beat the guy who couldn’t beat Trump, what chance does he have in a general election? Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Well after months of teasing it out, Beto O'Rourke is finally announced that he is officially, as of right now, running for president in 2020. Beto joins an already pretty crowded democratic field, but we expected a crowded field. And to be honest, we kind of need a crowded field. One thing we don't need though is Beto O'Rourke. Now. I'm not the kind of person that just hates Beto O'Rourke. I don't hate him. I thought he would have been a great replacement for Ted Cruz. I wished him well. Uh, we did plenty of videos supporting him. However, as a presidential candidate, I do not support Beto O'Rourke and I haven't actually endorsed anyone, but I am officially not endorsing Beto Work here and I have very good reasons for it. First and foremost, the guy basically gives us 50 shades of grey style teasing for months about whether or not he's going to run for president.

Then he finally announces it and he has no platforming. The guy literally has no ideas. In fact, even in interviews in these months of teasing, he's saying, well, we should have a debate about this. Well, we need to be thinking about this. We should be talking about this. He was never once able to come up with a plan other than his plan to crap on other people's plans like Medicare for all or getting rid of ice and returning those duties back to the agencies that used to handle them before ice was created 16 years ago. That's all these God, he is essentially Howard Schultz. I don't have any ideas of my own, but I can tell you that everybody else's ideas or garbage, that's what Beto or work is. He has no plans and he has had more than enough time to come up with plans. So no, I don't trust him.

I don't trust his mealy mouth. Well, let's have a debate about why we're in Syria. No, we don't need to have the debate. We know it's wrong. Let's get out. End of story. Oh, let's have a debate about whether or not Medicare for all. No. We know that we're getting screwed over by hospital corporations, health insurance industry, big Pharma. We know that they're screwing us over. We know Medicare works very well. Let's expand it to everybody into story. Beto O'Rourke is too weak. And think about this for a second. First of all, okay? I don't even understand why people are so excited. He jumped in, he doesn't stand for anything and he couldn't beat the guy who couldn't beat Donald Trump yet. We expect him to beat Donald Trump. Explained to me in what universe. That makes sense, right? You had a guy that was running against Donald Trump, ted Cruz.
