Beto O'Rourke hosting private fundraiser in New York
The Hill ^ | September 12, 2018 | CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO

Posted on 09/12/2018 3:30:13 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) is hosting a private fundraising event in New York on Wednesday as he campaigns to unseat Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) in November.

According to the event invitation, first obtained by CNBC, the campaign fundraiser will take place at the Cutting Room, a concert venue in Manhattan. Andy Cohen, host of the Bravo's late night show "Watch What Happens," will also be in attendance.

The fundraiser comes as O'Rourke's senate race against Cruz tightens. A CBS Dallas-Fort Worth/Dixie Strategies poll from Wednesday shows Cruz's margin at 46 to 42 percent, with 9 percent undecided and a margin of error of +/- 4.3 percent.

All Beto is doing is sucking vast sums of money better spent on other Democrat candidates.

Shhh! Don’t spill the beans.

This chicken shit would never venture into Midland Texas. He would have his ass handed to him.

A real tuff guy.

The voters in Texas don’t mind?

Did you ask them?

If he was doing that great he would not need a NY fundraiser.

I don't know... His yard signs are all over North Texas. Dems here are truly pumped about the guy.

Both candidates are getting tons of money from outside Texas. It's what politicians do these days.

Come to think of it, O’Rourke doesn’t belong in Texas, either.

Come November 7th O'Rourke will be back in Texas filing for unemployment.

I guess Cruz could try his New York values line, again. Might work better, in this situation :-)

The DNC is pouring money into the following states...

Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Missouri and North Dakota

Montana, Nevada, Tennessee and West Virginia.

.

What, no Texas?

I thought beto o’rourke was just the little commie that everyone is buzzing about here in Tejas.

Why, there are 3 or 4 of his yard signs on every street.

I wonder who the OTHER 56 households on that street are going to vote for?

So if the DNC is not spending money in Texas why is pedo scooping up money in NY?

Sumpin ain’t right.

I donated to Cruz today. Can’t risk losing this seat.

Haven’t seen any of his signs in South Texas. I can’t believe O’Rourke will do well. No charisma at all. And he is so anti Trump..Texas is Trump country.

Saw Cruz’ first tv ads against Beto. Let’s see how well O’Rourk can counterpunch.

So, it's money laundering in his campaign financing.

OTHER than it will not be investigated because he is a proglib commie, why is he being enriched?

I’m in Texas... I’ve seen a couple of Beto signs but not that many. It seems it’s mostly media hype but we can’t take that for granted!

Beto signs seem more numerous than illegal aliens, here in North Texas, but I have yet to see a single Cruz sign.

Callers to local talk radio say you can’t get them for love or money.

Previously he got a lot of his money from California. Texans should care that California and New York are trying to foist this Far Left wacko on them.
