Beto O'Rourke launches presidential bid

[jeffl1980]

It’s surely over for Drumpf!

No, but really, it is (srs)

I’m not a big Beto fan even though we live in the same city, but the energy this guy brings us enormous. Yes, he lost against Ted. But come on, Texas has been red for decades and this Beto guy almost turned it blue.

How did Betos last rally in his hometown compare to Trumps which was on the same day a few blocks away?

[Dave22reborn]

Lol Tamorlane has been losing it lately. More than usual. Anyone else notice that? Lol

I'm kind of concerned actually.

[Dave22reborn]

Recovered the economy in worst financial crisis since great depression

Killed bin Laden (Bush tried and failed like a typical retardlican)

Won the Nobel Peace Prize (Trump tried and failed like a typical retardlican)

Restored unity to the country, most inclusive president of all time (Trump has destroyed unity, most divisive president in US history)

He killed Bin Laden? Let's say he did, you blame 9/11 on Israel, so isn't Bin Laden innocent?

There is literally and ENDLESS stream of anti-white male propaganda from leftist media sources.

Please understand the people you're arguing with on here have an actual mental disease, save your breath.

True, it's hard to keep that in mind. It's difficult in this situation because their disease can actually destroy the country rather than just affect them as individuals.

It's called snowflake meltdown with TDS.

Not sure if you remember but I attended the Trump rally that night.

The Trump rally had way bigger numbers of course. I mean, he’s the president. Beto still had a pretty good crowd and even his march was pretty Yuge.

Again, I’m not a Beto supporter. I’ve said it already, I’m probably voting red in 2020. I like my money

[chaunce54]

What exactly did mesiah Obama clean up in his 8 years?

Hillary's email server.

Cruz isnt popular in Texas. Trump is.

Comparing mid terms to a Presidential election is idiotic to say the least.

I don't live in Texas so you likely know better than I do I'm sure, but Cruz beat Trump pretty handily in Texas in the Republican primary and Trump doesn't poll all that well there. If Cruz only beat Beto by 3 points, Texas would likely be very competitive if it's Trump vs Beto. The DNC would pump an insane amount of money into his Texas run

They pumped an insane amount of money when he ran against Cruz, and still lost.

Thank you.

This nonsense b-b-but Beta can’t even win Texas is pretty dumb.

Trump doesn’t want to face Beto and he knows it.

[John L]

Cruz beat Trump in Texas though, plus in this case it would be Beto's home state and he'd be facing off against a New Yorker. Combine that with Beto becoming the media/celebrity darling, the amount of money his campaign would raise and Texas' demographic situation and it could wind up being a real disaster

[JoshSP1985]

Yeah that's true he was inundated with out of state money

[BearyManilowe]

How does Beto poll outside of Texas? If he spent that much money just to lose his election in Texas does he have the ability to finance campaigns countrywide?

Lets be fair winning Texas for him even as an extremely popular candidate was a very long shot as a Dem.

Also don't think any 2020 POTUS or Dem nom polls have been done with him yet. Dem field is going to be a cluster fuk, IIRC there is going to be over 20 people up for the first Dem Primary Debate.

Too late, you still have to go back.

[Dan_S]

Yeah, over 78,000,000 in outside money and over 150 staffers couldn't pull a win. Cruz had 45,000,000 and 8 staffers working on his campaign.
He's a loser, therefore I encourage leftist to prop him up.

I'm not sure which candidate is sadder. Beto or Stacey Abrams.

This trend of Democratic losers running for higher offices is great.

[JoeDelts]

He doesn't stand a chance because....

[Darkhare]

Then why do leftists constantly bring up white males as being a problem if they don't hate them?

they literally attack him IN the article posted for being white male.


I don't reply to tamorlane.. his posts are pathetic grasping at straws.... he's completely lost, he acts like a blind lesbian in a fish market

[tng83]

Texas isnt voting D in a presidential election. It doesnt even matter who the candidates are.

[lsiberian]

He got 48.3 % of the vote in Texas vs 42.5 % for the Democratic nominee for Governor.

His vote margin was around 200k vs 1.1 million for the democractic nominee for governor.

He definitely has legit shot in a race vs Trump, but I'm not sure the left will let a white male be their nominee anymore.

Currently are 16 most don't have a prayer IMO, but people doubted Trump had a chance last time.

There were 16 vying for the Republican job last time.

His husband is a billionaires child.

So, Biden eventually gets in to the race. Beto show's well in early primaries. The Dem ticket becomes Biden/Beto. Enough white to placate older white voters, enough progressive to placate Dem base. Biden wins, announces he's only going to do 1 term and grooms Beto. Beto runs in 2024 and picks a more progressive minority as VP candidate (take pick) and wins for 8 years. Yeah, Trump should be somewhat concerned. Anyhow, it should be fun to watch.

Just lol if anyone thinks Biden escaped a presidential run with anything but humiliation after Trump's team finds the gifs that get posted here frequently

Didn't Trump win Texas by almost 10 point? I don't see an upset it 2020. And I see the GOP winning even bigger in 2024.

[LinuxJon]

I love Ted Cruz, but legit, Texas is one of about 3 states where he could ever possibly win a senate race. He doesn't pull punches and he's way too direct and way too conservative for most people. He doesn't care about giving people warm fuzzies. If Abbott was running against Beto for governor, he would have won by double digits.

[scheal]

The only thing that bothers me is hat there seems to be enough liberals in the current GOP who would prefer a democrat as president

[icetrauma]

Dem's had several things going for them with Beto, how they didn't win the entire state show's the ignorance of the voters and the DNC. Harris county went blue and all the elected officials with a D besides their name won. Why, straight party ticket. That option has been taken away now. The Dem's could of exploited that, possibly did and I don't have any links but it's just a feeling, and took the entire state. If he does make the ticket, does the DNC have enough money to target 1 state like that for a national election, probably not. The sad thing is the pool for people running is deep, in quantity only. It's going to put race's in effect and it'll be a battle to see who gets the most offended. It'll be the moderate Dem's who will decide, if they aren't put off by all the far left BS.
