Beto O'Rourke says he still supports impeaching Trump
CNN Politics ^ | October 18, 2018 | Eric Bradner

Posted on 10/18/2018 7:52:25 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Texas Democratic Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke said at a CNN town hall Thursday night that he would still vote to impeach President Donald Trump.

The El Paso congressman challenging Sen. Ted Cruz said that his position on impeachment hadn't changed, even as Cruz has used the issue to galvanize conservative voters against O'Rourke's campaign.

Asked by CNN's Dana Bash if he had changed his mind after saying he'd vote to impeach Trump this summer, O'Rourke said, "I haven't."

He pointed to the ongoing probe into whether Trump's 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.

"There may be an open question as to whether the President, then the candidate, sought to collude with the Russian government in 2016," O'Rourke said. "But to quote George Will -- very conservative columnist -- when we saw him on that stage in Helsinki defending Vladimir Putin, the head of the country that attacked our democracy in 2016 instead of this country, and its citizens and this amazing democracy, that was collusion in action."(continued)

What is Beto going to do after Cruz kicks his @ss? I hear even though he’s raised a ton of money, he’s blowing through the money like crazy, he may have nothing left by election day LOL.

"Darned people moved to an area for jobs and lower taxes"

No.

They moved when their companies moved to Texas and brought their lib employees with them.

The Texas policy of Open Borders for libs has to end now

Don’t forget that most voters in the United States are registered as “Independents” not Democrat or Republican.

He doesn’t even know what state of mind he’s in. Talk about spreading a myth that Trump undermined democracy in Helinski while Zero was on open mic conspiring and not a word was said.

Bento needs to go back to skateboarding and leave the politics to adults who understand one needs drastic grounds for impeachment, not some dragged out, go-nowhere make-some-attorney-buddies-rich affair with nothing to show but some taxi medallions.

Maybe, but their suburbs and exurban areas sure aren’t.

But to quote George Will -- very conservative columnist

When did George Will become very conservative columnist?

RFK he ain’t. He is a smooth talking commie just like Barry Dunham.
He doesn’t sound Texan, or anywhere from the south.
He sounds like a northeastern elitist. And he plays to New York and California - and maybe Austin.
