A top Hollywood publicist says the excitement in Los Angeles over Texas Democratic Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke is at a level he hasn't seen for a national liberal politician in years.
Danny Deraney, whose clientele has included A-listers like Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Beyonce and Madonna, told NBC News in another profile of O'Rourke that he has effectively swept the famously progressive town off its feet:
Danny Deraney, a Hollywood publicist who has worked with celebrities like Justin Timberlake and Madonna, said he hasn't seen Los Angeles this excited about a national politician in years.
"Barack Obama kind of swept everybody off their feet, and I think Beto has done that here, too," he said. "Here in a city that is pretty left-leaning, they see someone who is hopeful for this party, that is not the same old same old. I think people see him as someone who is refreshing."
Celebrities and sports stars from LeBron James to Ellen DeGeneres to Tony Dungy to Stephen King have expressed their Beto-love. Steve Kerr, the coach of the NBA champion Golden State Warriors, wants him to run for president. And New York City donors were willing to shell out at least $250 for a recent O'Rourke fundraiser — even though the candidate only appeared via Skype.

But not Russian Collusion. Hollywood Collusion is to the left of the Rooskies.
They said that about Obama and ROFL
Spread around Texas that the manager for Jay Z, Beyonce, Madonna, and Justin Timberlake really want to see Robert O’Rourke in the Senate. That’ll really help. /s
He ought to run for mayor in LA
New York and Hollyweird like Robert O’Rourke
That right there should be enough for Texans to slam the door in his face.
They love ‘Beto’ because he is so much like them.....pretty face, empty head.
I can’t wait till this dipsh*t loses his ass. Rush was talking about this today. They did the same adoration crap for abortion Barbie, Wendy Davis when she ran for Governor, and when she lost she disappeared. Can’t wait for this jackass to do the same.
Irish Frank just suckered a bunch of California flagburning babykillers into giving him $38 million. He can pretty much live out the rest of his life on some big Organic Ranch out in West Texas.
“A top Hollywood publicist says the excitement in Los Angeles over Texas Democratic Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke is at a level he hasn’t seen for a national liberal politician in years.”
After he LOSES to Cruz this time around, he can run (AND LOSE) against President Trump in 2020!
Dump a whole bunch of money into Beto, THE LOSER, Hollywood! Make sure De Niro, Babs Streisand, Rosie O’Donut and Michael Moore get in on the action, too!
Beto O’Dork, another RAT overrated loser.
Has a criminal record too.
So Beto O’Rourke has a lock on the Hollywood voter’s. Great. The Cruiser can now focus his campaign on Texas.
Can’t wait to see their excitement on election night.
More liberal tears to flood the airwaves.
Dems always seem to choose overrated ‘Ken dolls’. They never have an agenda, other than what Pelosi and Schumer want.
He reminds me of the other Texas loser, Abortion Barbie.
CNN gave him an hour of free publicity tonight. Need to keep that in mind next time the media (sleepy chuck todd) says there’s no evidence of media bias.
Too bad O’Rourke is running in Texas and not California.
Actually, I think Cruz declined to participate in the town hall.
Don't want to get cocky here but... what will O'Rourke do in three weeks after he gets his but kicked by Ted Cruz?!
Oh man, if LeBron is a supporter, count me in.
