**SNIP**

Many of her followers criticized the songstress for not speaking up earlier, instead waiting just hours before the polls closed in Texas. One person commented, “Should have spoke sooner. Too little too late. When this was posted there was only 2 hours left to vote.”

While it's shocking to see the “Lemonade” singer’s fans criticize her at all, they do kind of have a point regarding her sway. With over 119 million followers on Instagram, she is highly influential. It’s entirely possible that her reach could have made a bigger difference during the midterms, especially considering the effect Taylor Swift’s viral political post had in encouraging young voters to register.

If O’Rourke does in fact run for President in 2020, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Beyoncé back him again. Hopefully, next time around Bey will be a little bit quicker in getting her post up.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Maybe Taylor Swift should campaign for him next time. Then he’ll win in a landslide. (sarcasm).

“Beyoncé ... With over 119 million followers on Instagram”

By definition, low information (or no information) voters.

Didn't ILLary have an appearance on the night before the election with Jay-Z and Beyonce? It clearly didn't work then either.

Her behind blocked out the sun, so the low-info voters thought it was too late in the evening to go vote.

The blame game of the DemonRATs has no limits. They also ate all of mom’s cookies.

Only Taco Bell is more authentically Mexican than Robert.
