Failed Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke didn’t humiliate himself enough when he ran for U.S. Senate against incumbent Republican Ted Cruz.
As he mulls a gubernatorial run, he’s evidently determined to make sure that no one in Texas can stand him:
Beto dropping oppo breadcrumbs on Mathew McConaughey!

Matthew McConaughey has talked about possibly running for governor of Texas, which is one office that Beto O’Rourke hasn’t run for and lost yet. Beto throwing shade at McConaughey is is a pretty clever way of pre-emptively losing this race, too.
This is just sad.

O’Rourke’s own views on many issues were undefined, especially when he got into the presidential race, and some (notably on guns) changed – and he made that out as part of his appeal. But now: https://t.co/mGfQCEwzZy

We’re here for it.
Haha….Beto going after McConaughey right at this point is just proof that this guy’s political instincts are as razor sharp as the nose of a 747.

Lol, Beto is not McConaughey’s equal in this scenario. No moderation necessary, Beto loses.
