Buh-Bye.
On Friday night Beto O’Rourke ended his campaign for president. He called it quits and dropped out of the bid for the Democrat Presidential nomination.
It was a long shot.
The white Irishman with the Latino nickname made the announcement via his twitter feed, in tandem with a long winded rhetorical bloviation on a Medium post:
Our campaign has always been about seeing clearly, speaking honestly, and acting decisively.
In that spirit: I am announcing that my service to the country will not be as a candidate or as the nominee. https://t.co/8jrBPGuX4t

Let us continue to fearlessly champion the issues and causes that brought us together. Whether it is ending the epidemic of gun violence or dismantling structural racism or successfully confronting climate change, we will continue to organize and mobilize and act.

President Trump responded to the news on Twitter:
Oh no, Beto just dropped out of race for President despite him saying he was “born for this.” I don’t think so!

And last night President Trump hammered the former candidate at his Mississippi rally.
President Trump on Beto: “Did you hear? Beto. Beto. Did you hear? That poor bastard. That poor pathetic guy. He was pathetic. Remember the arms were flailing!”
