Unsuccessful Texas Senate candidate and outgoing Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) spoke on the phone with Rev. Al Sharpton Friday as O’Rourke mulls a bid for the presidency in 2020, BuzzFeed News reported Monday. O’Rourke recently also met with former President Barack Obama.
A spokesperson for Sharpton told BuzzFeed News: “They spoke and agreed to meet within the next couple of weeks and they had a great conversation.”
Why??
Seriously, my high opinion of Beto just got lowered a bit. How does talking to that old nasty douchebag achieve anything on the path to the presidency? He isn’t even that respected in the black community anyway. Please, find better people to talk to,
Kind of like Rosa Parks, Jesse Jackson, OJ, and Rodney King? Just watched this during the huge 4" snow in Raleigh!

Well, he’s looking for work right now. I’m in the let-everybody-run camp. Obviously it’s a long shot but who knows?
