Beto O’Rourke will report raising about $3.6 million from April through June, a startlingly small sum for a candidate whose presidential campaign once appeared ascendant and who raised massive amounts of money for his 2018 Senate race.

Money quote:

Julián Castro, O’Rourke’s fellow Texan; Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado; and entrepreneur Andrew Yang, each raised about $2.8 million, and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock raised $2 million in the second fundraising quarter.

Stick a fork in him.

People don’t want to support a whiny white guy. Go figure. Beta-Bob is completely out of touch with reality.

Still, it's scary to think that there are that many mental incompetents running around loose.

I've always thought that beto was really aiming at the cushy, do-nothing job of VP. Hey, if Idiot Joe Biden can do it, ANYBODY can!

Folk in Austin, Houston and the Rio Grande Valley.

They are stupid enough to think Robert O’Rourke is Hispanic.

He's not? But I heard him speak Spanish - right before Corey Booker shot him the evil eye....

Huh, I guess campaigning in Mexico did not seem to help him at all.

Still too much. 3.6 million for being a self-absorbed narcissist who is good on a skateboard. He’ll never be nominated, so the money is his to keep.

Is that really him?

It does look like something he would do. He is such a doofus.
