Beto O’Rourke May Benefit From an Unlikely Support Group: White Evangelical Women
NY Times ^ | October 10, 2018 | Elizabeth Dias

DALLAS — After church on a recent Sunday, Emily Mooney smiled as she told her girlfriends about her public act of rebellion. She had slapped a “Beto for Senate’’ sticker on her S.U.V. and driven it to her family’s evangelical church.

But then, across the parking lot, deep in conservative, Bible-belt Texas, she spotted a sign of support: the same exact sticker endorsing Beto O’Rourke, the Democrat who is challenging Senator Ted Cruz.

“I was like, who is it?” she exclaimed. “Who in this church is doing this?”

Listening to Ms. Mooney’s story, the four other evangelical moms standing around a kitchen island began to buzz with excitement. All of them go to similarly conservative churches in Dallas. All are longtime Republican voters, solely because they oppose abortion rights. Only one broke ranks to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016. But this November, they have all decided to vote for Mr. O’Rourke, the Democratic upstart who is on the front line of trying to upend politics in deep-red Texas.

In the Senate race, one of the most unexpectedly tight in the nation, any small shift among evangelical voters — long a stable base for Republicans — could be a significant loss for Mr. Cruz, who, like President Trump, has made white evangelicals the bulwark of his support.

Because Evangelical women support murdering children, queer marriage & believing all accused men & boys are guilty of sexual assault when accused.

People cannot help who they are attracted to; some behave carnally and foolishly because someone is cute. It happens. Kennedy, Clinton, Obama

I don't always need information on evangelical Christians deep in the heart of the Texas and the Bible Belt, but when I do, I always turn to the agenda driven atheists of the New York Times, located 1600 miles away, and north of the Mason-Dixon line at New Sodom on the Hudson.

Yup. They even have a great foreign policy analyst:

Frank Rich, theater critic.

What is wrong with these people?

“Because Evangelical women support murdering children, queer marriage & believing all accused men & boys are guilty of sexual assault when accused.”

Actually some of them do! I have posted stories from Life Site about that. Not all, mind you, not all. However a lot of Christian denominations are going bad on us.

This Denomination? probably a few women were paid off to say this who knows.

His GD name is ROBERT FRANCIS with the whitey last name O’Rourke! This is the same as that POS “De Blaso” from NYC whose real name is WILLIAM/WARREN Wilhelm. If these a-holes are ashamed of their “whiteness” and EURO heritage, then they should paint their skin and put that skin in the game.

Also, depends on the church. The Village church has been full bore into SJW issues so this might not surprise me. Big Eva (Evangelical celebrities and organizations) has a strong anti-Trump and SJW voice. Double minded in my opinion.

Wendy wore pink tennis shoes, Beto wore a dress and wants to take away our guns.

Let the NY Slimes get a Survey Monkey Poll again.

Barf.

Beta isn’t going to win no matter how much they wish for it. He’s running in Texas
- not NY or California.

*********

I agree that Beto won’t win. But also keep in mind that Texas hasn’t been in the
GOP column for all that long. The last five US Senators have been GOP and four
of the last six governors have been GOP.

It was the mid 90s before Tx turn totally to the GOP for US Senators and Governors.

Stupid White women have been behind every destructive movement that has weakened America and the West. I never underestimate that stupidity in any election.

Yes Beto the Fake Mexican MAY benefit from Evangelical women but it is more likely he will benefit from left handed red headed Japanese tourists.
