Beto O’Rourke’s campaign strategy seems to be this: endorse policies most Democratic candidates won’t touch, refuse to back down, hope the voters will agree — wash, rinse, repeat.

Time and time again, O’Rourke has proven he’s willing to go where no other Democrat wants to (or should want to) go. Last month he endorsed mandatory confiscation of all assault-style rifles. Now, he’s calling for the removal of tax exempt status from any church or other organization that refuses to recognize gay marriage.
