Funny, with all the fawning over "Beto", nobody mentioned he was married to the heiress of a billionaire.
Robert Francis O'Rourke, the Irish Mexican, skateboarding multi-millionaire, man of the people. Sure.

Dems are smart to run affable well spoken people for election...if they are likeable, they have a shot, no matter how ridiculous their platform happens to be. Betos website basically says we are going to tax corporations until they have to leave the country to pay for social programs.
It would be helpful if a few corporations hadn't bailed on their homeland years ago.Quote:

Early youth vote explodes in Texas: Hope for Beto O’Rourke in key Senate race?
Ted Cruz still leads in Texas polls, but it’s conceivable a bigger-than-expected youth vote could bring him down
https://www.salon.com/2018/11/03/ear...y-senate-race/
Quote:
Early voting by Texans under 30 is up more than 500 percent compared to the 2014 midterms in what can only be described as great news for Democratic Senate hopeful Rep. Beto O'Rourke, who has a huge lead over incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz among young voters.
The Independent reports that early voting by Texans between 18 and 29 years old is up by 508 percent this year compared to the last midterm election, which featured a gubernatorial race between Republican Greg Abbott and Democrat Wendy Davis. Abbott won that race by more than 20 points.
Early voting among African-American and Hispanic Texas voters is also up more than 200 percent. Hispanic voter registration is also up more than 200 percent since 2014. Early voting by white voters and those over 65 is up as well, though not at the same level.
Overall, more than 200,000 Texans voted for the very first time this year.
Coach Pop praises O'Rourke: 'He's out for the people'
"Tuesday's a little more important than our game tonight, that's for sure," Popovich said, referring to Election Day. "I hope everybody understands that."
https://www.kens5.com/mobile/article.../273-611017462
Who else is crossing fingers for a Coach Pop election pop?Quote:
Popovich then talked about O'Rourke.
“He’s a special guy, especially when you think of the times we’re in now,” Popovich said. “You get so tired of all the lies, the divisiveness, fear-mongering, the race-baiting. It just diminishes all of us. It makes all of us feel strange.
“When I think of Beto or listen to what he says, I feel like what I thought an American is supposed to be. He’s classy. He’s thoughtful. He’s intelligent. He’s civil. I mean, what do we have in Texas, 250 counties (there are 254), I think. He’s been to every one. He’s been everywhere because he cares about all the people.
“He doesn’t deal with PACs and corporations, and all that kind of thing. He just does the work. When all of us say, ‘How are we going to change this? What’s going to happen? They don’t get anything done. Congress doesn’t . . . nobody gets along.’ We all say, ‘We need leaders. We’re all looking for leaders.’ Leaders are courageous. Leaders conduct themselves based on their standards, their principles. They have the courage of their convictions. They don’t genuflect. They don’t kiss up for their own personal gain.
“He’s (O’Rourke) out for the people. He wants everything to be fair. He wants justice. He wants our democratic institutions to be respected, so that we’re proud of being Americans. You can’t be proud of the culture wars that have been begun. The whole world looks to us for leadership, and it’s not there. That’s why people like Beto are so important because he embodies that. He’s there for us. He’s not there for his own personal gain and position.
“When people are so desperate as is his opponent, that scares me. To do what Mr. Cruz has done to try to get elected, is very scary. That’s about self. That’s not about the rest of us. Beto is the exact opposite of that. That’s why I think he’s great."
Lol at anyone thinking Francis is anything but an "insider"........who needs PACs when you've got access to billions.....its the same fucking story over and over again....

God forbid you zoom out....
politico had a great piece on how beto likely fucked himself out of relevance in a dozen different ways but im not going to bother digging it up.
might make for good reading tho when cruz takes his victory lap later.
Thanks was an interesting read.Quote:

In the unlikely event Cruz loses, it will be because white middle class women in Dallas and Houston think he is a creepy weasel (which is is). Trump went after Cruz’s wife, yet now he is sucking Trump’s dick. If you think women are ok with that, you’ve never been married. Texans are all about God, family, guns and football. In that order.

Lol at 4 million early votes, heres how it ends, Robert Francis by a slim margin, Doppleganger puts on a show for you idiots like hes angry and going to fight it to the end, you guys fall for it like idiots and after another scandal breezes over and Rafa gets his backroom deals solidified he magically has a change of tone and decides to take the high road........and fin.....
I read it and strongly disagree with it. That was written from the perspective that has lost the Democrats many races against the GOP for a decade by trying to run as Republican-Lite. In historically red Texas, the only chance that Beto has is to mobilize potential voters who are usually dormant or apathetic because the typical Beltway-mentality politician doesn't speak to their concerns. Trump did that with his racist and lying-through-his-teeth populist messaging. Bernie Sanders did it with his strong progressive policy stances.Quote:

Beto has correctly adopted many of Bernie's policy stances and combined it with a message of not demonizing those who support other politicians and instead pledging to work to listen to their concerns. It may not be enough to rally the historically undervoting demographics that his policies stances are likely to appeal to -- Hispanics and younger voters, but it was the best strategy line to take in this race.
I voted all dems today per union "protocols", also voted yes on marijuana props, not because I'm a smoker, but fuck it, legalize it already. One was for it to be treated as alcohol, as in age of purchase, blah blah, one was for growers and buyers. Also voted YES on changing arbitrary voting "blocks" or "districts". Michigan voting, I did my part.

Beto's unlikely quest to unseat Cruz comes down to Austin, Dallas, Lubbock, Midland ... and everyplace else
https://www.yahoo.com/news/betos-unl...164343805.html
Quote:
The question of whether O’Rourke can make history will be decided largely in the state’s largest cities. His campaign is banking on historic turnout in Democratic strongholds like Austin, Houston and Dallas. Republicans have long won most of their campaigns by driving up the votes in deeply red conservative Texas — places like Tyler, Lubbock, Midland and Beaumont, where Cruz has made repeated visits in recent months. For Cruz to win, he needs rural Texans to turn out the way they do in a presidential year.
But O’Rourke has sought to undermine the usual GOP playbook in his pursuit of votes in rural Texas. While the congressman has said he never expected to outright win in those regions, he is hoping to win just enough votes there to add to what he hopes will be massive turnout on his behalf in the cities. His success or failure largely rests on whether his gamble on rural Texas pays off.
On Tuesday, there are a few regions both campaigns will be watching, including the suburbs of Houston, where the GOP hold on power has been thrown into doubt by a rapidly diversifying electorate. Both campaigns will be watching Amarillo in the Texas Panhandle, where Cruz is likely to win but where O’Rourke has found a following among progressive evangelicals opposed to the administration’s crackdown on refugees. And they will be watching Longview in East Texas, another area Cruz should win but where O’Rourke has attracted massive crowds.
But the mostly closely watched counties are likely to be in the Dallas/Fort Worth area — including Denton County and Collin County, which have tended to back Republicans but where Democrats appear to be surging. One of the most closely watched House races in the country is Texas’s 32nd Congressional District, which includes Collin and Dallas counties. GOP Rep. Pete Sessions has been statistically tied in the polls with Colin Allred, a former NFL player turned voting rights attorney, in a race that has been driven in large part by the debate about access to health care. The race is considered a bellwether for O’Rourke’s chances in the Dallas region.
Perhaps the most closely watched county of all, however, is Tarrant County, which includes Fort Worth. It is the last big Republican city in the state — and one that O’Rourke has focused on flipping, appealing to black voters and new voters. If the city votes Democrat, Republicans suggest Cruz is in big trouble — which is why the junior senator from Texas stopped there late last week, calling it the “biggest, reddest county in the biggest reddest state” — and one he needs to win.
“As Tarrant County goes, so goes the state,” he said. The returns will show whether he is right.
Update on Predictit's price of Cruz keeping his seat hasn't yet narrowed to show him winning despite the recent heavy volume.
And if memory serves me right, Trump had similar odds the day before the general election. So, it's not yet time to count Beto out.
O, did this thread not get bumped yet since the skater billionaire fake Mexican populist conceded?
Bye bye Beto, you entitled cocksucker.
Don’t be surprised if he isn’t added to the top Dem ticket for 2020. He would absolutely help a more centrist Dem candidate to rally Progressive minded voters in swing states to the polls.Quote:

There the one who lost big, I know Carl Rowe and the media are trying too spin it otherwise but it's not.
And we're are all the investigation,s involving his campaign finance, he will probably get a warning like Hillary did.
Let's get back to the Russians now..

It's like they never learn.....Hilary Bedo 2020 is a sure fire lock for President Trump to win....
Those damn immigrants to Texas ruined the chance for an actual Texan to be the junior US senator for Texas!
