In many ways Austin, Texas, was the last place Beto O’Rourke should have been with just over a month left until a pivotal U.S. Senate election.
The deep-blue city, smack dab in the middle of a deep-red state, likely doesn’t have many of the undecided voters the Democrat, whose aggressive challenge to GOP Sen. Ted Cruz has become somewhat of a national fascination, needs to win this November.
So in front of a crowd estimated at 55,000 people, a truly impressive number for a U.S. Senate race, with the Austin skyline behind him, O’Rourke fired up the crowd with an impassioned speech ticking off a checklist of policies that are simultaneously in line with most of the progressive resurgence within the Democratic Party in 2018, but unique to his Texas-centric campaign: the legalization of marijuana, a renewed focus on climate change and leadership on LGBTQ issues. Later, the congressman capped off the night with a rendition of “On the Road Again” with Nelson and his family band.
Nelson himself debuted a new song he called "Vote 'em Out," telling the crowd, "If you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out. That’s what Election Day is all about. And the biggest gun we got, is called the ballot box, if you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out."

Smoke some more dope, Willie. Fry the little remaining brain tissue you have left
Mamas, don’t let you sons grow up to be dopers
WillieWeed has a nice ring to it.
Oh yeah, that should work...
Willie’s as phoney as Springsteen....
lol
I think he will win handily. It strikes as funny to have a white guy with a Hispanic nickname running against a Hispanic with a white guy nickname.
Wish I could vote in Texas next month but I guarantee you there will be 2 more votes for Republicans next year when my husband and I move to the FW area
Just another liberal idiot running for office.
Looks like Willie is thinking: “Thumbs up. Got the picture? Okay, back to my cannabis induced coma.”
Fake numbers. KXAN crew estimated 15-20 thousand. Beta campaign claimed 55 thousand. Arena has a 20 thousand capacity.
That doesn’t surprise me. Everything about this Irish Mexican is Fake.
You can still dig up a crowd of 55,000 leftist UT hippies, homos and street bums in Austin, though.
That’s easy.
The 55000 came out to hear Willie not Beto
