    Default Beto O'Rourke Is Prepared To Be Biden's Veep...

    A damn bit early to be making such choices already. But at the same time, I think it's a good choice.

    Beto O'Rourke Is Prepared To Be Biden's Veep And He May Have Already Been Offered The Job

    Former Texas Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke is often mentioned as a top contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, but it seems he has his eyes on a different job -- and he may already have been offered his dream position.

    O'Rourke told journalists, at a gathering El Paso, Texas, on Tuesday, that he's still open to considering a presidential campaign or a Senate challenge, even though he's well behind other candidates who have already formed up exploratory committees and hired staff, and who are regularly visiting early primary states. But he also mentioned in passing that he may be interested in the Vice President slot, if the right opportunity came along.

    "I'm going to consider every way to serve this country. And, yes, that will include anything," O'Rourke told the gathered crowd, according to NBC News. It "may involve running for the presidency," he said when asked, or "it may involve something else."

    The "something else" seems to be a job as running mate.

    It may be Beto's best hope; after losing his Texas senate race to incumbent Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), O'Rourke took an extended absence from the public eye, citing the "exhaustion" of running a statewide campaign. He posted a handful of Instagram videos, including one of himself at the dentist, but failed to follow up on his nearly successful bid by fundraising for his future endeavors.

    O'Rourke was expected to announce his intention to run for President during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, in a special taped late last month, but, reportedly, O'Rourke had the same cagey response: that he has yet to decide what the rest of his political career looks like.

    The lack of fortitude has, no doubt, made some Democrats question whether Beto would be up for a national campaign. Candidates with Presidential aspirations need to make their intentions known early in off-year elections, particularly when they're in the challenging party. The field is already crowded, and only expected to grow.

    Beto says he hopes to have reached a decision in "the next ten days."

    If he's looking to be Vice President, his dream job is likely open to him. According to Marketwatch, Joe Biden -- who has yet to enter the race himself, but who is leading the pack in nearly every poll in every early primary state -- had his aides reach out to O'Rourke late last year, with the possibility of a Biden-Beto ticket.

    Beto might be stupider than AOC. Anyone who votes for him would have be missing several good parts of their logical brain.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
