Stop being so transparent about your desire to confiscate guns, Beto. All you do is help the Republicans.

That was the concern of CNN's Chris Cillizza on Friday in "Beto O'Rourke just did Republicans a massive favor on guns." According to Cillizza, O'Rourke by announcing that he wants gun confiscation, is validating what conservatives have been claiming has been the true goal of Democrats and the left. This has Cillizza frustrated especially when looking at the 2020 election and how it provides ammunition (pun intended) to the Republicans about the ultimate goal of Democrats.

Beto also did a favor for Cornyn by insuring his re-election to the U.S. Senate next year. Whoever is Cornyn's opponent is going to be asked if he supports Beto on gun confiscation. Whatever answer he gives will cost him a lot of votes.

Rush drove this home Friday. Big no-no by Bebo.

No need to be concerned, Chris. You can be ASSURED he did them a favor. Not that they’ll recognize it or take advantage of it.

I hope even RINOS understand that if they cave on guns, it’s over for the Republican Party.

It may turn out to be bigger in 2020 than Hillary’s “deplorables” comment was last time.

Bob is an idjit, so it’s not a surprise.

It’s not just Beta Male O’Dork who’s doing the GOP a big favor. The Rat field is contributing every day in their own way — Lieawatha Warren, Bolshevik Bernie, Peter Buttplug, and Clueless Joe. Not to mention AOC and the Jihad Squad and Mad Maxine and her ilk. Trump should send them all public thank you tweets after the election.

VETO BETO...O’ROURK IS A DORK.

[PghBaldy]

If Trump works with the Rats on legislation, he’ll probably undo the good Beto did for us.

What would really be GREAT to see is a coordinated attack not only playing Beto’s confiscation plans, but showing the CROWD REACTION to those plans (standing ovation), and noting that everyone in that crowd is a DEMOCRAT ACTIVIST.

Of course that won’t happen...too ‘divisive’ don’t you know.

[servantboy777]

Yep...Ol Francis laid bare the ultimate agenda...confiscation.

These leftist are in disarray. lol Love it.

The MSM drones on the narrative that Texas turning blue, top dem candidates leading Trump...on and on.

They're gonna lose their freaking minds on election night.

[fella]

A lot of gun owning Democrats just changed their votes

[ssfromla]

If Trump works with the Rats on legislation, he’ll probably undo the good Beto did for us.

No deal on anything. They're inching towards their ultimate goal and we know what that is.

It is likely no coincidence at all that a “Beto Special” gun deal offered by one outfit — Arizona-based Alfa Dog Firearms — sold out on its select, $349.99-priced AR-15s in less than four hours on Friday!

Overton windaw.

[Haiku Guy]

Everybody assumed that this was a stupid move by Beto, but they fail to see the obvious.

Sure it was bad for Democrats and gun control, but was it bad for Beto O’Roark?

This raises his stature among confiscation-loving Democrats, which is a large percentage. It will give him enough support to advance to the next round.

That’s all he cares about.

Beto O’Rourke, aka “Mexican Bob’’.

[Grampa Dave]

What happened the first time our rulers tried take our guns away from us?

Thomas Jefferson, “I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence …

I think that upon the whole it has been about one half the number lost by them, in some instances more, but in others less. This difference is ascribed to our superiority in taking aim when we fire; every soldier in our army having been intimate with his gun from his infancy.” - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Giovanni Fabbroni, June 8, 1778

Bozo O’Rourke was playing to the crowd, instead of to the American People. The hard-cord Leftists in that audience loved what he said, but the average American is horrified. Thanks for the campaign ad, Bozo.

Beto has spilled the beans.
