Why doesnt he say how many people gave him money? It seems relevant.

It only takes a few hundred wealthy donors to max out their donations and he would already have several million from those people alone. We know he's loved by lots of big oil fat cats. He has a long history of being funded by big money republican donors in El Paso and his father in-law is worth $500 million. This isnt a man of the people who'll stand up and fight back against the ruling donor class of America who have caused so much harm and destruction to salt of the earth Americans.
exactly

it's coming from big donors

he's pro fracking

fast tracking TPP

against Medicare for All

against the fight for 15


Corporate Shill and you can tell by the CNN/MSNBC love fest (Fake Liberal News)

maybe their Kamala/Kristan plan isn't going so well

You're the only person I've ever heard say that.

Even Ted Cruz admitted he's very likable and charismatic.

I wonder how appealing you'd find his personality if he was ultra right-wing.

It would be great if he could run and beat Trump but he can't. It's very difficult to win against an incumbent president.

Beto O'Rourke lands big Obama fundraiser -- but many elite donors are playing the field in 2020: https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/07/p...ign/index.html

Former Obama bundler reaching out to top Democratic Party donors to gain support for Beto O’Rourke’s 2020 candidacy: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/14/form...e-in-2020.html
Guess we will need to wait for the reports to come out.

I've seen a number of conservatives today claiming that he transferred $4 or 4.5 million of unused campaign funds from last year to the Texas Democratic Party, and that they just donated it back too his presidential campaign. Don't know yet if that's true, but if it is, it sure would be a lousy start for him to begin his campaign on such a blatant lie.

I'm further left than 95% of Americans, and I can't stand the guy. He's an airhead and a fraud.

It's obviously a conspiracy. They have been planning this Irish-running-as-Hispanic-for-President since he was born!

Personally, I'm glad to see all the hype around O'Rourke. Between him and AOC, it exposed the utter lunacy of the LWLTs.
