After the first Democrat debate, there is one thing most people agree on, and that’s Beto O’Rourke’s failure.
Even on CNN, his campaign was declared all but dead.
Mediaite reports:
CNN’s Van Jones Praises Julián Castro’s Strong Debate Performance: ‘Texas Takedown… Clocked Beto’
CNN’s Van Jones offered a glowing review of Julián Castro’s performance in the first 2020 Democratic debate, calling out his strong answers on immigration policy and his pointed “do your homework” rebuttal to fellow Texan Beto O’Rourke.
“It was Castro that came out of nowhere,” Jones gushed. “Nobody was talking about Castro. He did the Texas takedown. Turned around, clocked Beto.”
Castro, a former mayor of San Antonio and HUD Secretary under President Barack Obama, had been polling in the low single digits prior to the debate.
See the video below:
"Unfortunately I think that may have been Beto's last hurrah… I think he's done."

Beto has failed so completely tonight.
What a fucking dud he turned out to be.
Lmao he could not beat Ted Cruz, the most disliked man in America, a man who killed dozens of people from the late 60s to early 1970s and who is the son of JFKs assassin.
Beto can't win shit
