O'Rourke says he'll focus on flipping Texas state House in 2020

Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) said Tuesday that he plans to focus on flipping the Texas state House to Democratic control in 2020.

“Everything flows up from that," the former presidential candidate told reporters, according to The Texas Tribune. "So not only could Democrats gain control of the House and make progress on stormwater infrastructure, health care, gun violence, climate and education, but that will incidentally help the federal races — from U.S. Congress to U.S. Senate — and I also think it’s also going to lay the groundwork for whoever the presidential nominee is."

O’Rourke told reporters of his new plans while campaigning with Eliz Markowitz, who is running for a state House seat and preparing for a run-off election next month, according to the Tribune. He said it was the first time he has returned to the campaign trail following his withdrawal from the presidential race in early November.

The former presidential candidate said during his 2018 Senate campaign that he worked with state House candidates and they “produced historic turnout,” according to the Tribune.

So, the loser wants to lend his magic loser touch to another political endeavor. I smell a Bobby Frank Non-Profit in the making so that he can rake-in some cash.

Is Beatoff going to help flip the Texas House before or after he writes another sick story about running over little children with his car?

Flip like Guam? Good luck with that. He probably should stick with skateboarding.

That didn’t take long. Just a couple days ago he swore he was finished with politics.

O'Rourke couldn't flip his minnow, let alone flipping the Texas State House.

Problem is I rather doubt there’ll be an effective Dem party anymore after this impeachment fiasco. They just opened Pandora’s box.

flipping the state house....

Beto has already flipped. Isn't that good enough for him? Eating dirt may have affected his brain like Botox did for Pelosi.

But Texas already had the national disgrace of allowing O'Rourke to be close to Ted Cruz in an important Senate race. They'd better repent and improve (or was it just their new "neighbors" the illegals who did it.)

What corporation will be sponsoring his band's reunion at SXSW in 2020?

That's about his level of community outreach.

Show off his X-treme skating skills.

Grab a What-A-Burger AND some spicy ketchup.
