* if he's no longer interested in running for any elected office (apparently) then whatever else he may have had going for him no longer applies with me, especially after his betrayal and treachery in not supporting Joe Biden (and hopping on the Tlaib bandwagon) encouraging primary voters to vote AGAINST our party and AGAINST Joe Biden.

It's a shame, really. But I believe that someone else will move up to fill the void.

...I've said the same thing for years, that immigrants improve our economy, among other things.

* and hopped onto her "Let's-Fuck-With-Biden" bandwagon. Together they wasted that capital in their efforts to harm Biden and "punish" the Democratic party. Stunts like this only serve to soften support for the party and Biden in toss-up states like Michigan and O'Roarke knows this (or he ought to have). Regardless of what his motivation may have been, my opinion of him and my respect for him have dropped to zero. I expect that I'm not the only one who feels this way. Going forward, I expect that his political influence will only be to serve as a spoiler, not as someone who's consistently right, always level-headed, and has a message that is worthy of consideration. Instead, he'll be dismissed and ignored. Pity.
