Or you can take the flip side of the coin. Since he wasn't going anywhere with his run they let him say all of that. Kind of a trial balloon to see the reaction and determine if they really want to go down that rabbit hole. They probably promised a lot of support in a run against Cornhole for doing it. They will deny any connection to their platform with his statements and quietly let him drift away to be used another day.
Unless he is a total idiot (???) the party knew what he was going to say beforehand. If they didn't and he was truly "out on a limb" he will be a non-person in the party and he knows it. He's not stupid, I think.
avvidclif,
NO, I don't believe that "Pretty Bobbi" is stupid but instead he is as much of a LOON as the rest of the FAR LEFT wing of the DIM's party is in 2019.
Imo, that's the reason that the DIMocRATS "leadership" is reportedly so ANGRY AT O'Rourke is that he revealed their party's long-time "Master Plan" for the next time that they are in power in DC.
(It is also my opinion that if Hillary Rotten Clinton had won that the "Master Plan" would now be making its way into US law. I also believe that Barack Obama, rather than Brett Kavanaugh would be a Justice of the SCOTUS, right now..)
Truthfully, I believe that you underestimate how CRAZY that the left-wing of the DP is in 2019. - I'm not sure whether to call them SOCIALISTS, FASCISTS or even outright MARXIST-LENINISTS but the "drivers of the DIMocRATS train" are ALL doctrinaire FAR LEFT..
