May this campaign go as well as his run for the Senate. The announcement video here:
I feel like he’s asking to be my life coach.

Really very funny. I really like and liked it.
But it doesn’t quite feel right, as it does not show respect for the names that those groups choose to call themselves. (I live in a County where 40% of our residents are Native Americans, the dated name “Indian” is kinda jarring.) I believe that it would be more respectful to say “A Native American, an African American, and a Mexican American walk into a bar.”
With that editing a good joke becomes a better one.
South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is gay.
The Greatest President of the Twenieth Century had Nancy Reagan gazing on him adoringly.
People’s last names should not be mocked. Maybe that’s just me.
How about “a diverse cross-section of America walks into a bar”?
Well can you blame her?
Not the same punch.
Not at all. Having an adoring wife is a good thing. And Reagan would not have become President without Nancy’s love, support and protectiveness. She gave Ronnie Reagan room to be the great President he was.
So what am I – a Scots-American? An English-American? For that matter, my wife is 1/4 French and 1/4 Native American, and 1/2 melting pot American: So what should she be called?
Nah. I agree on that one. Then again, I have a vested interest in not having my last name mocked.
“Indian” isn’t dated. Have you still not figured out that grievance-monger lefties swap the terminology just to mess with you? There’s no legitimacy to the game.
What’s funny is that you don’t object to “Mexican.”
Being a bit slow, @thesockmonkey, it just now occured to me that our friend @garyrobbins could very well be engaging in a bit of sarcasm. Or pulling our leg (legs?)
I think it would be weird if you were called a Scotsman or an Englishman, which is roughly analogous to the graphic.
Nice.
What I mean is that O’Rourke’s moniker is meant to appeal to Americans (of Mexican descent), rather than to Mexicans.
No, he’s trying to get the Mexican voters too. They congregate in sanctuary cities and sometimes they vote.
