Beto O’Rourke Wastes $160M To Lose Every Race: "An Austin couple gave $2 million to Beto"
Frontpage Mag ^ | 11/09/2022 | Daniel Greenfield

Beto O’Rourke Raised $80 million to take on Ted Cruz.

He famously raised $6 million in the first 24 hours of announcing his presidential run and blew through an estimated $17 million.

After wasting nearly $100 million in two failed races, donors lined up to give him another $66 million for the final leg of the trifecta, wasting over $160 million to lose the senate, the presidency and finally the governor’s mansion.

Consider the sorts of people who were willing to go on believing in him and writing him million-dollar checks. Quick hit them up with your best Brooklyn Bridge sales pitch.

An Austin couple gave $2 million to Beto O’Rourke, making up his largest donations yet

“We think Beto is an extraordinary candidate,” Simone Coxe said.

Extraordinary indeed. Not even can waste $160 million and lose some of the most high-profile races in the country. The question is, what will Beto run for next and will anyone give him the cash to do it?

I absolutely HATE Robert Francis! But I hope he runs for sixteen more offices!

All he has accomplished is sucking off MILLIONS of Democrat funds which would have gone to an actual victory, had they not wasted it on Beta O’Rourke!!

Anyone who donated to Beatoff’s election deserve what they got for their money.

Love it. All the TCU yards around here have been decked out in Beto yard signs. The same yards with the “we believe” signs.

Beto should have feigned a stroke or early dementia because it sure seems to be a promising strategy judging from the past two elections. /s

That people have that kind of money to blow on idiots like that commie “Beto” could make one seriuously think about Socialism and taking it all from them.

Beto’s people came to our house twice to try and sway my two young adult sons to vote for him. My sons voted red down the ballot yesterday.
