The Democratic nominee for TX Gov. on a 49-city campaign swing
[Dallas Morning News] Beto O’Rourke on Wednesday said incumbent Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is incapable of solving Texas’ lingering problems, including curbing gun violence, fixing the power grid and providing affordable health insurance for all Texans.
Lessee, Texas did not have any cities on the murder hit parade, the power grid has successfully passed a 67-day heat wave with power to spare, but true, Gov. Abbott has not arranged afforable health care for all Texans - Obama did that.
Well, “affordable”, anyway.
"We are running against someone who represents everything that is at odds with what our values are, not as Democrats, but as Texans," O’Rourke said in Cleburne.

O’Rourke is in the middle of a 49-day tour through Texas to highlight his push for voters to move past Abbott. Speaking in a non-air-conditioned gymnasium in front of hundreds of supporters, O’Rourke said Abbott’s tenure has been defined by one failure after another, calling his two-terms marked by "chaos, cruelty, incompetence and corruption."
Right, sending all those immigrants to places some of them say they didn't want to go. Embarrassing the Mayors of NY and DC.The shame!
"I don’t know that he wants any of these bad things to happen to us and our fellow Texans, but I do know that he is either unable or unwilling to make the changes necessary to make this state better for every single one of us," O’Rourke said. "We must win this election so that we can."
Keep those donations coming, folks! He can win this!!

#1 About grabbing those guns of your law abiding citizens and relying upon the police to protect you and your family, can you say Uvalde, Beto?

#5 Best comment on Robert Francis O'Rourke is a reproduction of the Vanity Fair cover a few years ago with him leaning against a pickup with his hands in his jeans back pockets.

The caption was, "See, I can too find my butt with both hands."

#6 I'm sure Beto's heckler was laughing at his "weapons of war" description of an AR-15.

#7 The scary thing is he could carry the big Texas cities. That alone will make it close.

#8 I think it will come down to whether he wins Fort Worth and by how much he wins El Paso and San Antonio (and what the margin of cheating is in Austin, Houston and Dallas.)

#11 Not a single military on the planet uses the AR-15 as an infantry weapon.

I'm sure Beto "Sick-Son-Of-A-Bitch" O-Rourke knows this.

#13  I'm sure Beto "Sick-Son-Of-A-Bitch" O-Rourke knows this.

There is no military in his background or work history, just Columbia, punk bands, and sliding into the incestuous tangle of family connections — even his wife is the daughter of an old beau of his mother’s, who then introduced his parents to each other.
