MUSCATINE, Iowa—Before becoming a rising star in the Democratic Party, Beto O’Rourke relied on a core group of business-minded Republicans in his Texas hometown to launch and sustain his political career.
To win their backing, Mr. O’Rourke opposed Obamacare, voted against Nancy Pelosi as the House Democratic leader and called for a raise in the Social Security eligibility age.
A hypocrite and a shameful vote panderer. I suppose he is Irish today..
So? It’s called being bipartisan.
Snake
Beto’s father-in-law, El Paso real-estate developer Bill Sanders, worth 20+ billion.
And Trump was once a Dem
Then he advocated for knocking down the southern border, which would open the US to even greater security risks and indefensible levels of illegal migration, then he endorsed the insanely expensive “Green New Deal” which placed him square in the corner with Socialists.
Johnny come lately was a welcome sight against the 'Ted', however he is lacking . Sanders20/20
Good-he can bleed some support for Agent Orange.
That doesn’t mean he knows anything
Collaboration and cooperation are not dirty words.
DOES THAT MEAN WHEN THE WATER GETS HOT HE WILL CHANGE SIDES . . . . I BET IT GIVES ILLEGALS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
So.
You guys are scared to death of BetoORourke
Given the number of emails and text I have gotten in the last 24 hours from members of the Democratic Party appears he will be the candidate. They are positioning him as the next Obama. Not a stigma I would want attached to me if I were making a run for president
This is not news. Core beliefs aside, most politicians will “cultivate close ties” with ANYTHING that can get them elected.
He flips from party to party somewhat like a prostitute who hops from one to another.
GEEZ..SO MUCH COVERAGE TODAY--DO YOU THINK THE MEDIA HAS CHOSEN THE CANDIDATE ALREADY---I THINK SO
Every time someone brings up another criticism, I like the guy more...
B.S. Beto2020 🇺🇸
Yeah, this guy doesn't know what he's in for. It's one thing to run against the most hated Senator in America, it's another to run for President.
Centrist who lost to Ted Cruz 🤨
GOOD FOR HIM! That's what people are supposed to do, cultivate ties with the business community regardless of 'party'. In fact, it's a sad state of affairs when it's noted that developing relationships is partisan.
Most Congressmen work with their local business community. What's the news here - other to falsely imply that Democrats don't work with the business community. FakeNews
Good. Then he can relate to the Republican base.
Probably. Most people who become politicians would do that sort of thing.
BetoORourke qualifications: married rich lol. Good luck bonzo
capitalist democrat?
