Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) said Monday that he would not rule out a run for president in 2020, backtracking on recent statements that he would not seek the White House.

O’Rourke, who rocketed to national fame with his campaign to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), indicated Monday that he and his wife are discussing the possibility.

“Amy and I made a decision not to rule anything out,” O’Rourke told reporters after a town hall in El Paso, Texas, according to The Washington Post.

Cruz defeated O’Rourke in a surprisingly close race in deep-red Texas, but the El Paso Democrat’s loss immediately sparked widespread calls for him to challenge President Trump.

I like the name

He better run. I have faith he’d do well in the places he needs to.

Not sure about this. Obviously, he's a likable guy, but he really doesn't have the experience. He'd be a great VP to a a more experienced politician like a Klobuchar or something.

why on earth would you pair THE most exciting national candidate in the country with Klobuchar as her VP...

she is as charismatic at drying paint, you've got it backward.

he basically ran in Texas like it was Iowa, and let's face it, Iowa is kingmaker. if he runs, I am absolutely confident he will win Iowa.

I hold Dems to a higher standard. Just bc repubs nominate a wildly unqualified celebrity, doesn't mean the dems can just go batshit and nominate someone who can give a good speech. We need someone who can win and govern.

He's great and everything and would definitely do good for the country....but we really need the most experienced person we can get after Trump. We have to fix literally every single solitary thing the government does. 

[GypsyBabe 22,836]

We need someone who can fix all the things that Trump has f*cked up both foreign and domestically. I wouldn't say that he can't cut it because of his lack of experience, but it should be an element to consider if he runs.

He will f*ck up the election just like Bernie did with Hillary

Bernie didn’t run in the General Election  

You must mean Hillary ****ed up the election.
