Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) “is getting more buzz as a potential White House contender than people who’ve served as governor, senator or even vice president and secretary of state, even though he’s still stinging from falling short last month to Sen. Ted Cruz,” the Dallas Morning News reports.
Said O’Rourke: “The fact that we came close doesn’t diminish the bitterness of the loss.”
Acknowledging the very real doubts about whether someone who couldn’t win election in his home state deserves promotion to commander in chief: “Oh yeah. I think that’s a great question. I ask that question myself.”
He added: “I just don’t feel comfortable talking to anybody in Iowa or New Hampshire, because I don’t want to stoke. I just truly have not made a decision or even really begun the serious work of making a decision, so I just don’t want to lead anyone to think that we’re doing something or not doing something.”
