Robert Francis O'Rourke 1 point behind Rafael Bienvenido Cruz in Texas

Your comment, even though it was meant to be humorous, sounds like it could have been crafted by weak lib mob members. Please tell me you aren’t serious, and understand the need to smack lib mobs and their candidates in the face with whatever one has immediately to hand.

Wagner understands the gravity of the consequences should the lib mob regain power. Do you?

Yes, but if he ran on his issues he would be even further behind. He’s got money and that Cruz isn’t all that popular. The more he runs on issues the worse it is going to be for him.
This is just another in a string of great lib hopes for Texas. Remember Wendy Davis? Remember the “Dream Team” before Wendy?
Great place for Dems to throw money away instead of where they need it, like Missouri.

I can’t picture Willie Nelson campaigning for Trump. Maybe Kanye should step up.

BillBrown · October 13, 2018, 5:58pm

Willie Nelson already threw a rally for O’Rourke.

O’Rourke has ran the most inept campaign I’ve ever seen.

How are you measuring that?

He had a good chance of beating Cruz. Cruz isn’t terribly popular in Texas. He came out of his contest with Trump even less popular.

O’Rourke is nice looking and charismatic. He reminds people of Kennedy.
At one time he was neck and neck with Cruz. About that time he shut down his campaign to saying nothing- just meaningless platitudes. He looks more like a self help guru than a candidate for office. He never broaches an issue. Not even a hint of one. Just a bunch of “Follow your dreams” crap.

Yes, but if he ran on his issues he would be even further behind. He’s got money and that Cruz isn’t all that popular. The more he runs on issues the worse it is going to be for him.
This is just another in a string of great lib hopes for Texas. Remember Wendy Davis? Remember the “Dream Team” before Wendy?

Nowhere on his ads is there anything about him being a Democrat.

Yes. I said I can’t see Willie Nelson campaigning for Trump, in response to Sneaky’s post…

LucyLou · October 13, 2018, 6:09pm

Does Cruz run on being a Republican? Republicans here sure don’t.

“Hey Willie, if you campaign for Trump, he’ll legalize weed and give it to you free. And forgive your tax debts.”

“On the road again, just can’t wait to get on the road again…”

Demon · October 13, 2018, 11:25pm

Lol. Still not seeing it.

Kyshia · October 13, 2018, 11:28pm

Beto will lose, because he lacks Cruz’s courage and integrity.

WuWei · October 14, 2018, 6:05pm

Willie doesn’t care about politics.

Demon · October 14, 2018, 6:06pm

I think he must, a little. Otherwise why do a rally with O’Rourke?

WuWei · October 14, 2018, 6:12pm

Weed and free BBQ. Come on man.

Demon · October 14, 2018, 6:14pm

I think Willie’s a lib at heart.

WuWei · October 14, 2018, 6:16pm

Sure he is. He’s The Last Hippy. But he doesn’t really care about politics.

Demon · October 14, 2018, 6:17pm

Maybe not on a day to day basis, but I think he cares about counteracting Trump.

WuWei · October 14, 2018, 6:19pm

Robbie isn’t running against Trump. Willie probably likes him because he rides a skateboard. They probably get high.

Demon · October 14, 2018, 6:23pm

Lol, a skateboard. No he’s not running against Trump, but he certainly wouldn’t support most of Trump’s policies. I don’t doubt they get high.

WuWei · October 14, 2018, 6:23pm

He will if he wants to represent Texas. Economic, not immigration.

Demon · October 14, 2018, 6:26pm

Yeah, I can see the economics. I think if he wins, Tx will just be a stepping stone. I see him running for president. Maybe not 2020 but at some point.
