West Texans already know plenty about the O’Rourke clan.

His mother was a money laundering crook who took in millions of drug money in her furniture store:

His father was the county judge who turned state evidence and was “unexpectedly” killed by a hit-and-run driver that was never caught.

Ironically, the more outside publicity this fraud Beto gets, the more Cruz will win. We moved to Texas from California 9 years ago and quickly learned, the people here are very stubborn when it comes to outside influences, outside business, outside restaurants, etc.

Del Taco came here from California........lasted about 2 years, closed all locations and left. Why? Taco Bueno is where Texans go and they aren’t that interested in outsiders. Taco Bueno is much better too, I’ll admit that and I’m a Del Taco fan.

Just an example. So keep it up NBC and New York. The more Texans see these outsiders trying to influence their elections....the more angry they get and I bet Cruz will win in a landslide. I’ve seen it before.....believe me.

They do like IN N OUT burger out here though. the lines are always long. Quality eventually wins out....whattaburger?......a nothing burger. :)

If a “Bernie-fied” dem party actually gets control of this country’s government, it will only increase, by several orders of magnitude, my thoughts that we are living in “Dr. Zhivago” but without the love triangle.

I would just be glad that I’m so old that it doesn’t matter to me and I can let my kids deal with what they created.

They think he is cool and that’s all that matters.

Exactly. Dems are looking for a sexy beta male — someone who looks like Bobby Kennedy. It was the same with John Ossoff.

But at least Jack Kennedy was a middle of the road, somewhat conservative in his beliefs. Beto is a Communist.

Another similarity is Occasional Cortex — total wacko Communist, but she looks and talks cute.

I’m 70 years old, born and raised in Texas. Let me tell all of you about Beto. My dog is more Mexican than Beto. My Spanish is 10 times better than Beto. I’m a white boy just like Beto. I don’t have any felony convictions for DUI, Extortion, or other misdemeanors, unlike Beto. I can string 2 coherent sentences together, unlike Beto. If it wasn’t for the Mexicans in El Paso no one would have heard of Beto. Beto no es Mexicano, nada. Beto es falsado

He has to add a fatal drunken car wreck to his “cool” before he can rival Teddy K.

He's got the drunken wreck down pat, alas, there was no fatality to push him over the line.

The left has tried to find the next JFK or RFK the last forty years

Crucial difference: For all his faults (and there were many), JFK was a war hero and actually loved this country. There is simply no way a JFK will win a Democratic Party presidential primary today.

“They are grooming him for the national stage. His coming loss will seriously crimp their plans, but maybe they’ll matchmake him with the hottish NYC socialist crazy ex-girlfriend.”

The left is betting that while Americans won’t be fooled by another black candidate, they’ll be fooled by an Obama-like Hispanic. And they are really betting that the Hispanics will vote for Beto if they KNOW he’s not Hispanic.

“Sadly if TX doesn’t stop being so apathetic, and having only 35% of its electorate actually vote, the Dems will likely sneak in someone sooner than they think”

I hear you, HamiltonJay. I believe that’s their plan.

But, you’ve seen how cool he looked “shredding” the parking lot on a skateboard, right?

Oh I have no doubt it is...

TX voters has voted so red for so long that voters just don’t bother... and one of these times you are going to wind up with a Democrat Governor or Senator because 65% of texans just took the R win for granted.
