Texas Senate hopeful Beto O’Rourke is appearing on an MSNBC town hall, the second time in less than two weeks that a candidate seen as a rising Democratic star gets to make a nationally televised case for ousting Republican incumbent Ted Cruz.
Tuesday’s event from Houston comes as O’Rourke shattered Senate campaign fundraising records, including raising $38-plus million for the three-month period between July and September, despite shunning donations from outside political groups.
A onetime punk rocker giving up his El Paso-based House seat to challenge Cruz, O’Rourke is trying to become Texas’ first Democrat to win statewide office since 1994.

ReplyDeleteOn Saturday Evening, October 27th, the Wicomico County Republican Club held their annual Lincoln Day Dinner at Salisbury University. Part of the dinner was "Abe Lincoln, a few Union Soldiers and a ragtag band playing era music.
One of the speakers was a black Republican named Tony Campbell who is running against Senator Ben Cardin. While Tony was talking he stopped and said: "I will get back to that." Then he said "White people!" "White people!" "Why the Hell are you playing "Dixie."
This guy was a guest and he was complaining about the music. WTH is wrong with Dixie? We are losing our Flag, our monuments, our heritage and now this racist idiot wants us to quit playing one of our favorite songs. He called us "White People." His comments and his tone was very inappropriate for a guest speaker who was begging for our support and our votes.
He acted like a racist Democrat and he lost my families vote and anyone that supports him can go to Hell!
In-kind campaign contribution.
