Trump calls Democrat Beto O'Rourke a 'total lightweight'
CNBC ^ | October 19, 2018 | Jacob Pramuk

President Donald Trump tried to stoke fears of socialism Friday as he bashed Rep. Beto O'Rourke, the Democrat pushing to upset Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in red Texas.

Ahead of his Monday visit to Houston, Trump called the 46-year-old representative a "total lightweight compared to Ted Cruz" who "comes nowhere near representing the values and desires" of Texans. He suggested O'Rourke wants to "turn Texas into Venezuela" — deploying rhetoric he has used in an attempt to portray Democrats as dangerous leftists as the GOP tries to defend its congressional majorities on Nov. 6.

The fake Mexican himself is the one stoking the fears of socialism, and Junior here doesn't mention the criminal record for some reason.

That airhead would pull a helium balloon up.
We must thank God that the dimbulbcrats keep nominating folks who even make Dorkbama appear smart.

The Democrats are running fake Mexicans, fake Indians and fake moderates for office this year. They’re also faking their confidence about the elections. Behind closed doors they are scared out of their minds!

Just in case a liberal read these comments, “that airhead” refers to the fake Hispanic.

Nach0’Rourke is an o0bama communist flaky and crunchy fool. He could be Rosie 0’donnel’s transgender sister.

Wait until the #WalkAway March starts next week.

Crowd estimates are between 500,000 - 1,000,000. There will be speakers like Stacey Dash and Diamond and Silk there.

If Antifa shows up, the optics will be HORRIBLE. And if the media ignores it, then it's proof that the movement is powerful and highlights the hypocrisy of progressiveness.

Here in WI, there are tons of Walker/Vikmur signs all over the place. I believe that the Republicans could win up to a dozen Senate seats, and will slightly increase their House majority by about 5-15 seats.

In the lingo of South Park, Robert Francis O’Rourke is both a douchebag and a turd sandwich.

I have been anticipating the #walkaway march.
Where did you find those crowd estimates?

Over on the Qanon Twitter thread. These are preliminary estimates, but they are expecting a lot of people. And they are predicting Antifa will show up, but the optics will be bad for them.
