The problem with idols is they are man made, and those who made them know it deep down, no matter how much magic, signs, and wonders the crowd attributes to it.

Beto O’Rourke, who started his campaign stating “I just have to be in it,” is now out of it as far as the 2020 Democratic nomination for president is concerned.
After making controversial statements about gun confiscation, Beto once again grabbed the spotlight at the CNN Equality Town Hall by saying that Churches opposed to Same-Sex Marriage should have their tax-exempt status yanked.
With the “Warren vs Biden” matchup not really happening as advertised, and Bernie being Bernie but with a scratchy throat, the sizzle reels for the talking head shows are going to need something to cover other than Biden’s gaffes and word salad. So Beto will eat up plenty of air time over the next few days.
I felt like a pro, zigzagging through rush-hour congestion, determined not to miss Betomania. Honestly, what is the fuss over a gangly, skateboarding, punk rocker of the Democrat Party? I decided to discover the draw for myself.
