NBC News ^ | 12 October 2018 | Carrie Dann

Posted on 10/12/2018 1:16:13 PM PDT by zeestephen

O'Rourke, who faces incumbent Republican Ted Cruz in November, has highlighted small donations from individuals and eschewed special interest PACs. His campaign noted Friday that more than 800 thousand individuals have contributed to his campaign, which has benefited from viral moments that have enamored the young Democratic congressman to progressives nationwide.

We need to IDENTIFY AND PUBLISH WHO eactly contributed to this POS.

My guess is a LOT of “entertainers”.

He will start a “Foundation” that he and his family will manage and all of his assets will be put under its control, he wont make a salary, but all of his and his families expenses will be paid.
Its an amazing scam that political people can do.
Of course this is just my opinion.

this is that asshoff jacka$$ all over again. the left always has the next new thing that invariably crashes and burns.

The only reason we're hearing about this loser is because Soros and Hollywood have sent him so much money.

Re: “Does he get to keep that when he loses?”

Legally?

No.

But he can donate any money left over to other Democratic candidates, or to Progressive political organizations, or start his own PAC, or retain it for any election he may seek in the future.

Why isn’t Ted Cruz questioning Robert’s family past tax fraud scandal ? How specious that he’s family, who ran a very successful furniture store, closed shop as soon as Robert announced his Texas candidacy!! RATS-=CRIMINALS!!

Won’t help. He’s running ten points behind Cruz and can’t catch up.

Now watch for his campaign to publish some kind of dirt on Ted in the next week or so.

Fantastic! Sucking democrat donors dry on a race they cannot win means less money to spend on races where they have a chance.

What a complete waste of money. Even if he won it would be a complete waste.

‘800 thousand individuals??’

That man is a LIAR. I am reminded of Obama, when asked about his amazing campaign fund raising, said ‘they are donations all under $200’ and everybody simply believed him and he didn’t have to show his accounting.

Hillary Clinton spent a billion dollars to defeat Donald J. Trump. POTUS, Donald J. Trump spent $125,000,000 dollars to defeat Hillary Clinton. Democrat governor candidate Wendy Davios spent millions to defeat Texas Governor, Greg Abbott and she lost her bid to him by ove a million voe majority.

Beto O’Rouke can spend all of the money he raised and eat swiss cheese on the Moon and he will still get absolutely slaughtered, politically by Senator, Ted Cruz. End of story!!!

“And isn’t Cruz still ahead?”

Robert O’Rourke is a complete a-hole, but I hope no one in Texas is taking him lightly. I watched some of the debate and he has one hell of a lot more charisma and charm than Ted Cruz. That shouldn’t matter but it does. There’s also tons of Soros and foreign money coming in for this weasel.

I hope Cruz and all of his supporters in Texas fight like hell to get out the vote and keep Beto out of the Senate.
