Robert O’Rourke lost last night even though he raised more money than any other person who has ever run for the Senate. Hollywood dumped millions of dollars into his campaign hoping to beat Cruz … and Bob still lost.
T. Greg Doucette broke down the cost of each Beto vote in what turned into a fairly entertaining thread.
Enjoy.
US Senate for Texas
2012, Paul Sadler Raised: $705,027 Votes: 3,194,927 $/Vote: $0.22 each
2018, Beto O'Rourke Raised: $69,240,350+ Votes (11:33pm ET): 3,413,259+ $/Vote: $20.29 each
Allllllll that money for just 200K+ more votes?

“Beto O’Rourke Raised: $69,240,350”
No! Beto was gifted $69 million from the super-rich.
Who’s Robert? It’s the white guy fake Hispanic Beto!
“Who’s Robert? It’s the white guy fake Hispanic Beto!”
His name is “Nacho” As in Nacho Senator.
Trump’s superior MAGA plan trumped the America-hating mega vote buyers.
Rumor is robert is considering changing his name to beto o’rourskie.
he certainly came much closer than I would have liked, and honestly, much closer than I thought he would....
Those must be early numbers, I think Bob will get over 4 million votes.
Bucket loads of money
A fawning press
Free press on Ellen, The View, etc.
Willie Nelson concert
And he still lost.
That, and Trump wasn’t complacent. He campaign in the mid-terms with focus. Complacency kills.
If the dems were required to play on a level playing field I suspect the dem party would not even exist by now.
masterbeto.
translation: Gimmedat voters are getting smarter and starting to hold out for more money.
I thought liberals didn’t like big money in politics.......
Talking about Beto for 2020? He is so beta he makes Canada’s baby Trudeau look like John Wayne.
Beto’s constant F-bombs, not just in his concession speech:

I am inclined to agree with that. Look at how much effort they put into ballot stuffing, illegal voting, etc. If you have a winning philosophy, then you don’t need a fraud machine.
It shows that if you have a photogenic, charming candidate, who is willing to lie convincingly and repeatedly, backed with all those advantages listed above, they can gain about 7 percentage points above otherwise.
I think Governor Abbott received about 7 percentage points more of the vote than O'Rourke.
