I was looking at a page on some blog called MaxRepubliopath or something like that – the writer spoke of Beto O’Rourke as “goofy looking”. Because, I guess, Raphael is so normal looking. Sheesh.
I had to do an image search to see what Beto looks like. Put his face next to Cruz’s face and tell me which one looks “goofy”. I mean, yes, I am biased, and Beto’s smile can look a bit caricaturible, but that sad clown Cruz face to me looks like it could be improved by being shoved into a couple of chollas, a porcupine and up a CFSG’s hindquarter.
Cruz’s face has been a joke on the Internet for years now. In addition to the running joke that he’s the Zodiac Killer, and the usual jokes that he’s a reptilian, there’s a pretty well-done running joke that he’s identical to Kevin from The Office, like this face-swap and plenty others.
So he has a bit more reason than the Average Republican Candidate to not try to make a campaign issue out of “the other guy’s funny-looking”, which means him doing just that is precisely the kind of idiotic unforced error I expect out of Republicans.
These raids on offices and homes by the FBI seem like a police state type of action. Are all Gambino family members next? Do they need to confiscate our computers to see that we’re all just honest businessmen?
I didn’t remember much about Beto O’Rourke’s looks. Something like fair-complected with floppy hair?
Image search indicates to me that he’s pretty cute. Looks kind of like a mix between Zephyr Teachout and a Kennedy, for what that’s worth.
Unlike Cruz, O’Rourke has a noticeably large, expressive mouth. I’d thought a “broad smile” meant broad from end to end, but maybe it means from lip to lip, in which case Beto has one.
Now, now, don’t forget distain for the poor - that’s a big part too.
Oh, and the plan to rape the rest of the world for personal gain and power.
And warmongering, there’s the warmongering…
I know I’m forgetting something…
In the case of this one guy (who I swear is a very intelligent and well-informed person), perhaps his most defining characteristic is a comically exaggerated fear of antifa and the PC police. It’s like, he sees handfuls of well-publicized-by-the-right events on college campuses (some of them legitimately troublesome) and thinks “well, that’s what the entire US would be like right now if Hillary had been elected” or something. Bizarre.
