It's how the establishment pushes new politicians on you. Why should this person receive any coverage at all?

- smacktoward 8y ago> Why should this person receive any coverage at all? In most polling (see https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/democratic_nomination_polls/ https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/democr...), if the poll includes O'Rourke he consistently pulls about the same amount of support as Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, and more than Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar or Kirsten Gillibrand. So there's definitely enough demand for him out there to make him worth covering.
- heurist 8y agoHe's one of the more charismatic contenders, is young, and has a large cult following both in a deeply red state and online. Those factors naturally lead to coverage, at least in today's press.
