I'm disappointed in Beto for continuing this cussing routine of his - link [View all]

“Well, shit,” O’Rourke responded, hours later, tearing into candidates he said are “triangulating, poll-testing, focus-group driving their response,” adding that “Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell pretending to be interested in something that is literally a life-or-death issue … is simply not enough.”

I originally thought the media was being unfair with Beto by suggesting that he was trying to revive his campaign by cussing. I gave him the benefit of the doubt that his dropping the "f bomb" in connection with the mass shootings was organic and unplanned. But now that he keeps on doing it, it's pretty clear that the media was correct.

Beto is in danger of becoming a meme candidate at this point. Not because of his policy positions, but because this apparent strategy of his of dropping in a cuss word into his policy discussions is a transparent and sad ploy for attention. I had really hoped for better from him.
