Beto O'Rourke appears to be leaning toward presidential bid instead of challenging Sen. John Cornyn

    What is it that makes people think Beto O’Rourke has what it takes to become president? In an article written by Gromer Jeffers Jr., a political writer for The Dallas Morning News, we’re informed about Beto O’Rourke’s actions and hints for running for presidency in 2020. The political writer Gromer Jeffers has written about administrations of mayors Laura Miller, Tom Leppert and Mike Rawlings. He has covered national and local politics, including the presidential campaigns of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. He has also written extensively about texas government and politics, including administrations of Rick Perry and Greg Abbott. Therefore, I believe this article is written by a well-informed person who knows the bits and pieces of politics.

    In the midterms, O’Rourke almost took Ted Cruz’s Senate seat. He came so close, there are now whispers of a presidential run in 2020. But what makes people think Beto can make it to the White House? O’Rourke ran a grassroots campaign in the traditionally Republican state of Texas, which hadn’t elected a Democrat to statewide office since 1994. He visited all 254 countries and engaged with the communities. O’Rourke focused his campaign on inclusivity and minorities’ rights. He decided that he would run a grassroots campaign, visit every country and listen to everyone regardless of the differences. O’Rourke’s approach resonated with people of all ages and backgrounds. However, he ended up losing the midterms by three percentage points, but that didn’t stop him from being positive and wanting to achieve more for the country he loves.

    In the article, Jeffers supports O’Rourke actions and shows his concerns whether O’Rourkes runs for presidency in 2020 or challenges Texas Sen. John Cornyn. If O’Rourke campaigns against Cornyn, Jeffers believes that O’Rourke will have to change his approach that he used against Cruz which was listening to voters of all types. He believes that O'Rourke should focus on voters who haven’t heard him speak, including the cafes and town squares in Iowa, New Hemisphere and the early primary states. Jeffers uses words such as “national figure,” “duty, “ and “loyalty” to show his admirations and high beliefs about Beto O’Rourke.

What Sid Miller told Donald Trump in the presidential limousine

    In the article “what Sid Miller told Donald Trump in the presidential limousine,” Jonathan Tilove, who is the Statesman's chief political writer, talked about what happened inside “The Beast” before Trump’s El Paso rally. What happened was that Miller addressed that trump was unhappy with the fact that the city’s Republican Mayor, Margo, contradicted him on the success of El Paso’s boarded wall and believed that El Paso was a safe place well before “the wall.” In the article, Tilove shows how Miller was trying to back up his words and actions, and Miller believed he knew everything due to the fact that he was on the inside. He was the chairman of Homeland Security and Public Safety, and all the reports came through the DPS and FBI; he had all the crime stats, he had them all. Both Trump and Miller believe that the wall had improved so many things in El Paso and lowered the crimes rate but not everybody agrees. A couple points that I found interesting and Tilove did a great job to address them was the fact that the government would manipulate the numbers, hide the “real” crime rates and make believe countries don’t deal with issues.
