Beto & Buttigieg: Skepticism of the Mainstream Media Darlings

As the Presidential election season approaches it seems as though every day, Americans are scrolling through their Facebook and news feeds to discover that yet another democrat is running, preparing to take on Trump in the 2020 election. As we look at the ever-growing list of potential democratic nominees, the task of giving each candidate an honest chance and looking through their policy proposals and records seems daunting. A few of the candidates however, are of course standing out more than others.

Beto O’Rourke became a household name in the 2018 midterm elections, shocking the world when he ran an incredibly close Senatorial race against powerful Republican incumbent Ted Cruz. Unsurprisingly to some I’m sure, Beto has decided to run with his newfound popularity and recently added his name to the list of Democrats vying for a chance at the White House.

Young, handsome, and energetic, the mainstream media has been captivated by Beto from the very beginning, which I’m sure was a large factor in his decision to run for President. His grassroots efforts during the Senate race coupled with the poll numbers made him an incredibly interesting and refreshing candidate for democratic voters in Texas and around the country.
