For those who aren’t aware, potential 2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) keeps a diary on Medium where her chronicles his travels across America. Here’s his latest where he talks about going for a run and the “big trucks rolling down Pancake Blvd and there aren’t any sidewalks”:
And we discover Beto eats a lot of cobbler during his travels:
Ate at Del’s and as I was finishing my blackberry cobbler asked the waitress what I should see in Tucumcari. The murals, the sights on 66. And you should check out this lake, exactly 12 miles from Tucumcari on 54.
The growing problem for Beto, however, is that this journal of his might be hurting him among Dems:
The Beto livejournal stuff might be hurting him. Talked to a non-aligned NH Dem last week who said the dentist visit Instagram, while overblown, had some people wondering if he'd be an undisciplined candidate. "Is he Obama or is he Dean?"

And since this is Twitter, there’s now a parody account called @BetosBlog that perfectly captures the Texas Democrat’s tone and style. Check out a few of the funnier ones we’ve seen:
