#1 Guess he doesn't expect to have his current job for much longer.

#3 The plus side is, there will be a lot of progressive and establishment money sunk into his abortion of a political race.

#4 The Donks have found their Harold Edward Stassen. Maybe he should try for the local school board. Oh, wait, never mind.

#5 O'Rourke is currently associated in some way with a PAC 'poweredbypeople'

basically they get donations and most of those donations are used to fund campaigns of Democrats

#6 in 2018 Beto spent about $80M in his bid to knock out Cruz (Cruz spent about $45M)

He dropped out of the 2020 contest in Nov 2019 before a single primary or caucus. I think he spent about $30M

#7 ^ ... and they're about to piss away twice that amount now; ain't inflation a bitch?

#8 ...hmmm, I'm normally against taxes per se, but how about taxing political donations if they got so much to throw around.

#9 I'm seeing Blotto using this as his chance to fund his long term plans. All that out of state money and such. Plus, no actual working politician is up for taking that third coat of 'loser shellac'.
Short of the feds 'stimulating' a massive wuflu outbreak or a major event on the power grid this winter, it ain't happening.
