I think Beto is a fine fellow, but not presidential material. I dearly wish he had gone after John Cornballs senate seat. As for Elizabeth I beg to differ that she is "as creepy as Hillary". All about perception, I suppose. I like that she goes for the heart of the problem like no other candidate. Except maybe old Bern.

   I thought you all might enjoy this anecdote from yesterday.
 
 I had just bought 2 real leather belts made in China from a Target store located where the MacDonalds used to be on the corner of Guadeloupe and 21st in the giant dormitory mall on that corner near the Univ. of Texas campus and was taking the elevator to the 2nd story Food Court to award myself a slice of pizza when I ran into a female student who was excitedly telling a young black employee of the building that Beto O'Rourke had announced for president. Feeling my oats as I entered the elevator with her and the employee I observed that O'Rourke was about the last man in the world I would vote for for president. So she asked why. I further observed that O'Rourke was for Open Borders (for her obviously not an issue - she seemed to be somewhat Hispanic). She retorted but he is for defending minority rights. 
 
 Should the situation reprise which it won't I ask myself whether my esprit d'escalier rejoinder should have beene "Who is attacking minority rights these days? What with affirmative action, preferences, set-asides, etc. being the law of the land for 60 years? What more gimmes do you want? 
 
 Reparations? Let's ask O'Rourke if he is for dollar reparations. Sen. Elizabeth Warren was asked that question and in her wisdom replied "We have to have that conversation?" Au fond she really is as creepy as Hillary. She used to be a brunette and identified herself to the Univ of Texas Law School way back where she had been hired as a professor as a feather Indian signed in blue ink. Now she is a blond after going grey which compliments her blue eyes. Now she looks like a Becky, not a bad-white Becky, but a Becky  who cares.
