I knew that his dad gave him the nickname to help his political career but I always saw that as more of an example of the reptile thinking of his family. He didn't use the name until he moved back to El Paso?

It's honestly funny as hell to me that he reinforces his Texas image with a pickup truck, but it's a loving Tundra and not a Silverado or F-150

I just meant specifically Beto. That's a lot of wampum for that particular bro. It looks like they didn't hedge their bets by also donating to Texas Tough Ted.

countries like Italy and Israel with a ceremonial president and a prime minister with real power seem to be really missing the chance to be electing celebrities and other feel-good candidates to the presidency

good points. I can't quite wrap my ahead around the idea of a ceremonial elected head of state. if the U.S. had that system we'd just elect Hollywood celebrities or YouTube stars

He didn't use the name until he moved back to El Paso? yep When he went to go ~*~ find himself ~*~ in NY he went by Robert Before that, Mr. O’Rourke had attended boarding school in Virginia, largely to create some distance from his father, a political obsessive who did not understand his son’s musical leanings. Now Mr. O’Rourke had the run of the city. He went by Robert — Beto was a nickname from El Paso, owing to its border-town bilingualism — and he played the guitar, establishing himself as the school’s gentle punk rocker. His DWI/leaving the scene ticket was signed "Robert".

this Beto guy seems like a really smart, thoughtful guy. I pulled up a few quotes I've found that make me think he's our guy.quote:Knowledge, you see, has no uses without purpose, but purpose is what builds enclosing walls. quote:Power bases are very dangerous because they attract people who are truly insane, people who seek power only for the sake of power. quote:The three legs of the agreement-tripod are desire, data and doubt. Accuracy and honesty have nothing to do with it. … Desire brings the participants together. Data sets the limits of their dialogue. Doubt frames their questions. quote:I will be resolute and make an art of government; I will balance my inherited past and become a perfect storehouse of my relic memories. And I will be known for kindliness more than for knowledge. My face will shine down the corridors of time for as long as humans exist. quote:The body of Muad'dib is a dry shell like that abandoned by an insect. He mastered the inner world while holding the outer in contempt, and this led to catastrophe. He mastered the outer world while excluding the inner world, and this delivered his decendants to the demons. The Golden Elixer will vanish from Dune, yet Muad'dib's seed goes on, and his water moves our universe.

Fun fact: his birth name was actually Paul Atriedes. His mother (a career politician) gave him the name "Maud'dib" to appeal to the sizable Fremen voting bloc

beto sucks but the "fake mexican" attack is lame because anglos from the texas border counties are just like that. they grow up in a culture that's 90% mexican-american. there's a slightly different accent. people have a different pace to their walk. i dunno it's hard to explain. republicans in texas used to be more comfortable with chilling out about their state's mexican roots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxu7d56EMhA

As an adult the nickname was dropped but made a comeback when he had poltical ambition. That's worth commenting on.

The "beto" thing is just halfway microwaved leftovers from that Hillary is your abuela crap they tried to pull back in 2016. It didn't work then and they are trying it again because that's how bankrupt for ideas they are. Mexicans are generally pro democratic and seen by the dems as a free vote so the outreach for them is just "hola brownos, voteo for el rourkeo por favor!" and nothing else. That buck toothed piece of poo poo is Irish.

his dad died in 2001, which was 3 years after Beto's DWI arrest and 4 years before Beto started in City Council, using his charm and Spanish to tell old ladies that demolishing their neighborhood for his father-in-law's development plans was good, actually
