Fact number 1 (I know these facts are inconvenient but Its okay): Both his father and his mother are natural born citizens of American, They are of Irish descent.
Fact number 2: Beto was Born a American citizen and given the nickname Beto by his American parents.
Name argument is whether the name is made up. If it isn’t on his birth certificate, it is made up. Whether he made it up or someone else did, it’s made up.
By Rasmussen? The point being that Rasmussen is a right leaning pollster, and for Trump to be below 50 on Rasmussen means he’s probably in the high 30’s/low 40’s in actuality.
Now I have not said I thought Beto would win, I was commenting on the contrast.
However, I do think Beto has the charisma needed to appeal to a wide range of voters. And while I get that Cruz isn’t popular, Texas is pretty red and Beto had a good showing.
Yes, Ted is made up.
Someone posted O’Rourke had a cool first name.
I replied:
“The cool first name is made up. His first name is Robert.
His possible opponents could easily give themselves “cool first names”, to counter O’Rourke.
Biden could call himself “Plagiarist Joe”. Hillary could be “Big Butt Hannah” . I can think of several.”
That launched a 50 post argument that “Beto” isn’t a made up name. Of course it is.
