Beto O'Rourke: Why this Texan is causing such a stir in the 2020 race
He waves, he stretches, he chops. In one frequent move, he shoots one arm straight out and the other back - as though he has caught a wave on a surfboard or, perhaps more appropriate for the former punk band bassist, is riding a skateboard."I've never seen so much hand movement," Donald Trump said last week."Is he crazy, or is that just the way he acts?"
And, in event after event, he pushed three issues - healthcare, immigration and climate change, which he calls"the challenge of our lifetime, perhaps the challenge of human existence". That is, needless to say, the language of a pragmatist. Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, also running for president, would choke on those words.
In Mt Pleasant, Tom Williamson - a retired IT professonal from Fairfield, Iowa - asked O'Rourke to explain his votes.
