Beto O'Rourke, the democratic congressman from El Paso, has just finished the first of the day's three campaign events, an early-morning house party in Tyler, Texas, and is now high-tailing toward a second meet-and-greet 115 miles away in Texarkana, determined to squeeze in an extra, unscheduled stop. O'Rourke wants to overtake "the Beto Bus" – a raucous, 45-foot vessel scooping up supporters of his long-shot bid to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz – currently lumbering somewhere up ahead on an East Texas highway. O'Rourke's longtime chief of staff, David Wysong, is privately skeptical of the plan. "It has a lot of moving parts," he mutters more than once. O'Rourke loves it. He loved it too when one of the organizers of this morning's event pulled alongside the car to insist he not leave town without eating at Stanley's Famous Pit BBQ. Now, open-faced brisket sandwich in his lap, a little cup of barbecue sauce perched on the armrest, and with 20 minutes of lost time to make up, O'Rourke glances at Wysong, navigating a steep stretch of highway, and says with a grin, "No sudden moves."

I would like to especially read feedback from Texas Freepers on this.
Beto looks like he is near death.
Ping.
My late Dad would have said he looks wormy.
I wonder if he's a descendant of the character Forrest Tucker played on F Troop.
Hopefully Lyn’ Ted will drop out or be primaried. No credible Republican or conservative should support this NeverTrumper who even sided with McCain, Collins, Flake, and Murkowski recently. What a lying loser. Replace him with some like Beto, that’s an improvement and 6 years later Beto can be replaced with a serious, honest Republican if none can be found to primary Lyn’ Ted.
It would be great if a Conservative Texan would take on Cruz in the primary. We need a conservative from Texas for a change.
Who supported Trump and who has a lifetime 100 percent conservative rating, one of only three senators who can make that claim.
Yeah, let's get rid of that guy.
And that excuses him, most recently, for not supporting Trump and instead siding with McCain? Lyn’ Ted supporters sure twist themselves up to show fealty and sell out their values and integrity. Maybe paid propagandist? We all know there are several here on FR, may you too.
Ted is as conservative has there is, don’t be silly
You probably need to evaluate what a conservative is...lol
NOT Canadian-born Lyn’ Ted. Conservatives don’t or shouldn’t lie. Not about citizenship, about our constitution, about campaign funding and loans, about insurance, about so many things. At least my idea of a conservative does not include such blatant and serial lying.
His family is so DAMN CROOKED!! They have a high end furniture store which is about to close down(wonder why?)..but some years back they were in HOT WATER with the IRS!!! I should know I live in his hometown This guy is slImy as hell and will be a BIG PART OF THE SWAMP if elected!!! HELP ME SPREAD THE WORD...HE IS A CROOK ALONG WITH HIS FAMILY!!!!
I seem to recall reading somewhere that Beto has a record.
Everyone I know still backs Cruz.
He didn’t “side with McCain,” and you know that. What he did do was try to get the healthcare bill much closer to real repeal. McCain just wants to Keep teh program in place.
Your CDS is showing.
You Kool-Aid drinking progandizing for Lyn’ Ted to the very end is showing. Pathetic really. Curious the silence on him teaming with McCain to kill repeal of Obamacare. Guess maybe even the Kool-Aid and money are not enough to defend that?
Russian troll or fool? Which are you? Or both?
I’ll admit to trolling any idiot defending and promoting Lyn’ Ted. Seriously, most FReepers have long gotten over Lyn’ Ted and moved on. Why haven’t you? Have you no respect for honesty, integrity, and conservative, Republican values? Is it okay for you to ignore that NeverTrumper Lyn’ Ted joined McCain to kill the latest Obamacare repeal effort? Wow.
