There is an interesting and comprehensive article about Beto O’Rourke in the latest New Yorker magazine. Beto is portrayed sympathetically as an earnest, charismatic, genuinely humble figure who is searching for truth and is prepared to listen to anyone. A less Trump-like politician can hardly be imagined.
Beto would make a great choice as the head of the Peace Corps. As president of the most powerful nation on the planet–not so much. Beto doesn’t pass the Putin’s dog test. He isn’t tough and ruthless enough to deal with a world that frequently (Trump notwithstanding, not always) requires both qualities.
