Democratic presidential candidate Beto ORourke drew a standing-room-only crowd of more than 200 people to a Minneapolis high school Wednesday.
The former Texas member of the U.S. House spoke in the Edison High School cafeteria about immigration, health care and other issues.
He exhorted the receptive crowd to work to defeat President Donald Trump and address those issues.
Its going to have to be all of us with all weve got, he said.
ORourke began his remarks by name-checking Prince, the Replacements, Husker Du, Bob Dylan and Minnesota politicians that include the late Sen. Paul Wellstone, Gov. Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar. He said Omar is staring down some really strong racist stuff from Trump and others.
Democratic presidential hopefuls Mayor Pete Buttigieg and entrepreneur Andre Yang also visited the state this month, signaling that they arent ceding the state to Minnesotas own Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
Ana Acosta, a Minneapolis immigration lawyer, said shes intrigued by ORourkes leadership in border issues.
Hes really the only candidate who speaks to this issue coming from knowledge, she said.
After the town hall, ORourke spent more than an hour posing for individual photos with the audience.

Bobby i9s political toast.
In a room built to accommodate 190?
Hahahahahahaha! LOL!
sorry i missed that one!
fleas fighting over the dog they’re on
Yes. (They didn't have a lot of seats there, just standing room, but they say his loquacity was flowing endlessly.)
I had the same LOL reaction. Betacuck is a real superstar pulling in those impressive numbers.
Not a big turnout for Puta O’Rourke .... probably get more turnout for a Christian street preacher in Muslim Minneapolis.
“Awesome’’. Yeah, huh? A GOOD 200!
200? For cryin’ out loud the guy and his wife down the end of my block go away for the weekend and his kid has that many people partying in the house!
May I remind you that “Pretty Bobbie” O’Rourke drew less than 3 dozen people to a rally in his hometown in El Paso not long ago.
(Btw, CNN & MSNBC, the next day, both claimed FALSELY that “thousands” attended the rally. = BOTH cable networks simply got caught lying like rugs, AGAIN.)
What I cannot figure out is WHY he seems to think that he can get the DIMocRATS nomination for POTUS, since he cannot get more people to show up for a rally in his hometown than that, NO matter how much money that George Soros gives him.

“Standing room only :D”
They removed all the chairs. LOL
Guy holds a rally for himself then encourages the participants to unite against Trump. Like they weren’t already?
What a douchebag
(btw, about half of these people look suspiciously like high school students.)
btw, “standing room only” is obviously totally fake news since nearly everyone is clearly sitting on the floor!
“standing-room-only crowd of 200 people” - what a riot these people are.
Trump just wrapped up an outdoor rally in the Panama City Beach area with a crowed that consumed an entire fairground. Nary a single piece of “standing room” was available. There had to be 15,000-20,000 people there.
But Robert Frances lured in 200 suckers in Somali-sota and that’s big news.
I wonder what the heck Judy [the reporter] did that was so bad as to get her assigned to this beat.
SRO of 200 in the cafeteria!
The cafeteria packs in more than that on Taco Tuesday
Wow, 200 people showed up? I believe 200 people were in line 8 hours BEFORE President Trump was scheduled to speak...
With a smattering of union indoctrinators.
