Respond to theweek.com John Hickenlooper's graceful exit on Tuesday via YouTube has narrowed the field slightly.) What I am asking is whether he actually wants to win. I am wondering because Beto recently announced that he will not be campaigning in Iowa or New Hampshire, the states in which the earliest of these things called "primary contests" are held. (You need to win those, you see, in order to become the your party's nominee.) He is not the first candidate to do this, as a few political junkies would probably remind me if I did not mention it: Ignoring the early-voting states was also Rudy Giuliani's 2008 strategy. It is widely considered one of the worst in the history of American politics. Mississippi this week. After that? Who knows. The wind bloweth where it listeth.explain : "That would not be good enough for this community. That would not be good enough for El Paso. That would not be good enough for this country." Yes, you read that right. Actually winning the job that he failed to get last year despite raising gazillions of dollars and holding rallies with various celebrities and livestreaming his dentist appointments and being the subject of some pretty cringey erotica would now be unworthy of his considerable political talents. It wouldn't just be some kind of letdown for him, personally — it would be unfair, not only to his city and his state but to the whole country and, no doubt, the planet, the solar system, and all the worlds that fall along the inner edge of the Orion Arm, if Beto ran for the Senate. He's got bigger and better things to do. feeding women poop , publishing the 2019 equivalent of a LiveJournal and maybe pounding out some free verse."unelectable" poll-jumping candidates with lots of expertise and relevant experience and detailed policy prescriptions, ones who have never released even a single post-hardcore EP on cassette, ones who are probably — whispers — female do. Total nerd crap. Beto doesn't need those hangups in his life. As his mom and his teachers probably told him roughly 50 times a day when he was getting really into computers in middle school, he's special.
