Remember when Beto O’Rourke was the rising young hope for the Democratic Party as it looked forward to 2020? He made the cover of Vanity Fair with a photoshoot by celebrity photographer Annie Liebovitz standing next to a pickup truck like a dork, but most people just wondered why his dog looked so sad in every picture.
That was nothing, though, compared to what the Washington Post Magazine has done with possible vice presidential contender Stacey Abrams. We all know what Abrams looks like … she’s doing a media blitz even though she claims she’s not rallying to be picked by Joe Biden. But we’ve never seen her like this, with the fog machine and all.

Seriously?
Stacey is the new Beto. It's one flattering media profile after another. There's another one today from the NY Times.

Trust me. She's more annoying.

I’d pay to see her skateboard

If your analogy holds up, that’s good news for America. At least she won’t hold office again.

Did Marvel create a new character ?

Maybe Abrams is doing a screen test to play Storm in the next X-Men movie.
That’s not a flattering profile

Wait….. was that flattering? ?

Beto had an instant sex appeal to lonely middle-aged #Resist women. He was their fantasy partisan boyfriend, hence the fanfare.
I’m guessing not many men out there thinking equivalent thoughts about Abrams. If you are a man so bold, please respond here.

1/3 magician, 1/3 wonder woman, 1/3 solar eclipse I guess is what they were going for

Were they trying to outdo all of the photos of Barack Obama with a halo over his head? Because this does not look like a serious person running for vice president.
