Mark Gallogly, the co-founder of investment firm Centerbridge Partners has signaled to friends that he's likely going to help Beto O'Rourke

A leading Democratic bundler who helped former President Barack Obama raise money during his two presidential campaigns has been indicating to friends that he's likely to support Beto O'Rourke in the 2020 race, CNBC has learned.

Gallogly also donated to the re-election campaigns of Democratic Sens. Cory Cooker of New Jersey and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, who are also running for a shot to take on President Donald Trump in 2020. During his shockingly close loss to Cruz, O'Rourke raised tens of millions of dollars, with almost 45 percent coming from so-called small donors, or people who gave $200 or less. However, 53 percent of the contributions came from donors who wrote larger checks, including some donations from executives at prominent technology companies.

Boo!

Exxon paid him 3x as much as ted Cruz. He is Hillary 2.0

Tell me, anyone, what has O’Rourke done in his political career that merits his candidacy for President?

Good, we need more of the rich ppl money going out for a good cause, re-electing TRUMP! I'm sure he threw his money after the hillary debacle of 2016. The was money well spent!

I will wait until I see all candidates debate. But NO BERNIE

So much for not going to support a candidate.

I don't want a Beto version for president.
