They are 100% committed to their efforts and will not stop until the mindless sheeple are their majority fools who buy into all of their lies.
Now, having said that, I AM....in fact.....

It's"deplorables" all over again, but even worse. Remember, Hillary Clinton only smeared half of Trump supporters are irredeemably bigoted. O'Rourke appears to slime all Trump voters here, stating that it's "really hard" to see a 2020 Trump vote as anything other than a racist act. CNN's Jake Tapper poses the question -- which strikes me as a natural one, given Beto's nonstop racial rhetoric -- and after pausing for a beat or two, the candidate launches headlong into a vast slander:
"President Trump won your home state of Texas by nine points," host Jake Tapper said. "Almost 63 million Americans voted for him. Do you think it is racist to vote for President Trump in 2020?" There was a long pause from O'Rourke before he said, "I think it's really hard...I think it's really hard after everything that we've seen from his time as a candidate in 2016 to his repeated warnings of invasions to his repeated calls to send them back," O'Rourke said. "Sending back people who are U.S. citizens, sending back people who were born in this country."
Democrats are eyeing Texas as a true battleground in 2020 -- with Trump's support habitually lukewarm in the state, and lots of white suburbanites who typically vote Republican considering defecting. It's therefore probably quite unwise for prominent members of the party to insult all Trump backers like this. It's also probably unwise for them to nominate someone with far-left views, like taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants, but what do I know? Allahpundit also makes a point that immediately occurred to me, too:
What’s also weird about this is that it obviously doesn’t help him in Texas if he decides to bail out of the presidential race and run for Senate there https://t.co/JUHghS62M3— Allahpundit (@allahpundit) August 11, 2019
Beto is almost certainly going to fail in his pursuit of the nomination, even if exploiting tragedy with hyper-charged racial rhetoric has reinvigorated his campaign for the time being. He'll then return to Texas, where his gallop to the left as a presidential candidate will put him farther out of that center-right state's mainstream. Remember, he ran for Senate as an upbeat, hopeful, sunny uniter. His national campaign has been much darker and more aggressively leftist, and now he's effectively indicted the majority of Texas voters as bigots. Bold strategy. Meanwhile, as we discussed in depth last week, another Texas Democrat has also tried to shame Trump backers as fuelers of "hate" by publishing a harassment hit list. His ugly tactic has yielded predictable, and I believe intended, results (content warning):

With some critics of Castro's move calling for an ethics investigation, his office is striking a defiant tone amid the backlash:
"Their letter is a disingenuous attempt by pro-dark money, far-right legislators to limit Americans’ ability to track money in politics. They would prefer large contributions to be kept secret so that there’s no meaningful transparency in political giving,” said Schneider. “We look forward to hearing from the Committee if the request is considered.” But Castro’s public naming of his own constituents, some of whom are older and retired or describe themselves as homemakers, was met with backlash from Trump, his campaign, Republican leaders, and even some on the left, who warned that the Texas Democrat was using his platform as a powerful lawmaker to target private citizens at a combustible moment in U.S. politics.
I cannot imagine anyone making a more compelling case in favor of "dark money" forces than Joaquin Castro, who has weaponized donor transparency as a means of siccing the mob on donors to the opposing party. As I said in my previous post on this shameful episode, the purpose of transparency laws is for citizens to hold elected officials accountable, and to prevent corruption. It's an abuse of the system for a powerful official to wield that information as a hammer against private citizens. I'll leave you with this

Before ratcheting up the political rhetoric, consider: 18% of Democrats & 13% of Republicans say "violence would be justified" if the opposing party wins the 2020 presidential election.
We are in dangerous territory. Don’t fuel the fire.https://t.co/iy7SpFYs1u— Nick Troiano (@NickTroiano) August 11, 2019
According to this data, in spite of all the media handwriting about the president's rhetoric, Democrats' anger appears to have been stoked to more dangerous levels than Republicans'. Beto and Castro are tossing logs onto that rage-filled fire.
Assuming that all followers of President Trump are racists, is racist itself. He is labeling blacks, hispanics, asian, and other ethnic, and religious individuals who are Trump supporters, racists, when he, himself is the racist.
Just saw your post.
I think I should be promoted to Major Obvious by now. :)
Hope you are well.
I think we can all agree that the rat-faced bastard’s never gonna be POTUS.
It is really hard to not consider Bobby Frank to be a total dumbass.
Back in the clown car, conman.
To be honest, it is really hard not to consider all democrat voters as enablers of perversion (sexual and otherwise) and as flat out traitors.
Beto, it’s not hard at all to consider you being full of sh*t....
Expect an unconvincing change of gears by whoever faces Trump in the general election.
I wonder what Robert’s wife thinks of him.
I wonder what Robert’s wife’s dad thinks of him.
This type of scum absolutely makes sure that he says and does thing in his safe space or he would end up eating his meals through a straw and needing falsies.
The dems figure their only way to win 2020 is to start an all-out race war.

“”repeated warnings of invasions to his repeated calls to send them back,””
He and the rest of the goons know there has never been REPEATED statements of anything the man has said. All the president has to do is say something ONE TIME and it becomes locked in the brains of these loons just to be recycled over and over again as if he said it every day. They’ve never let go of the statement about keeping CERTAIN PEOPLE from CERTAIN COUNTRIES out of our country. How many times did he say it? It was early on in his presidency and yet it’s like he said it yesterday. And just WHAT was so dastardly about that anyway? They’ve hated hearing the truth from the first day he was in office. Ask the man on the street today if they’d like to see CERTAIN PEOPLE from CERTAIN COUNTRIES kept out of OUR country. We all (except for those with the warped brains) knew exactly who/what he meant when he said it. We really have no desire to be blown up!!!
How do we get back to the days before we heard, “We are going to fundamentally change the United States of America.”
Most of us were sitting in our homes saying - WHY? but no one reporting it was asking that question! BIG mistake!
“”I fear the POTUS is at risk.””
Definitely will be if more decide not to run for reelection.
They can give us racist accusation posts faster than we can rebut them. Our best response is to talk about how MAGA can benefit all of us, how we can change the hoods into prosperity zones, how we can improve medical care, how to improve education, etc. We’ll get no votes from our usual “They’re so bad ‘cause we’re really not racists”.
The word racist has lost all meaning when ANYTHING you say or do is deemed racist.
it’s really hard not to consider Robert a complete buffoon...
Let’s face it, it’s really hard for the left to win their argument on merit, because there is none.
