Democratic pollster, author, and commentator Doug Schoen tells Newsmax that former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s support for gun confiscation has made him too radioactive for other 2020 candidates to consider putting him on their ticket as vice president.

“I think he has [disqualified himself],” Schoen tells Newsmax in an exclusive interview Tuesday. “I don’t think you can run on profanity and gun confiscation and be a viable vice president.”
