Beto O’Rourke Raised $80 million to take on Ted Cruz.
He famously raised $6 million in the first 24 hours of announcing his presidential run and blew through an estimated $17 million.
After wasting nearly $100 million in two failed races, donors lined up to give him another $66 million for the final leg of the trifecta, wasting over $160 million to lose the senate, the presidency and finally the governor’s mansion.
Consider the sorts of people who were willing to go on believing in him and writing him million-dollar checks. Quick hit them up with your best Brooklyn Bridge sales pitch.
An Austin couple gave $2 million to Beto O’Rourke, making up his largest donations yet
“We think Beto is an extraordinary candidate,” Simone Coxe said.
Extraordinary indeed. Not even can waste $160 million and lose some of the most high-profile races in the country. The question is, what will Beto run for next and will anyone give him the cash to do it?
IS there NO limit on donations?
Par35
ROFLMAO
Good one !
Abbott won the gubernatorial election by 11 percentage points against O’Rourke’s very well funded campaign. Four years ago, Abbott won by 13 percentage points against a poorly funded Democratic challenger, Lupe Valdez. So the net effect of the spending for O’Rourke was two percentage points, in what appears to be at best a mediocre year for Republicans nationwide.
For our side there is. D’Nesh did time in jail for giving over the 10k limit.
For Democrats?
That’s (D)ifferent!
How much has he pocketed?
I imagine its a lot. However, I think he mostly loves the adoration and limelight.
I still think his livestream of his dental procedure was one of the strangest things I have seen in my 5 decades.
If “Tik Tok” became a candidate its name would be Beto.
No, more like Jerkoff 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She looks a bit like Cate Blanchet but with a short haircut.
The Austin couple are recent arrivals from Palo Alto, working to import West Coast trash culture to Texas.
May they lose all in future elections.
The candidates get to keep the millions in their personal accounts of money not spent.
Good.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Nice to see Beano O’Dork go down one more time.......
An Austin couple of what?
I stopped when I saw Austin.....the boil on the butt of Texas
There’s no point in pretending to be a Kennedy, if you’re too chicken to go all the way.
bye bye BETO!!!!!!!!
Three time LOSER~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonder if O’Rourke is going to buy a couple homes in the Biden hood.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
“Simone Coxe”
I’m not sure whether that strikes me as a port star or simply a nouveau riche name.
I’ll volunteer to beat that for less money.
I’ll lose FOUR races for only $80M. Just send me 10% down and I’ll get started
