    2016 national polls being correct doesn’t mean every poll is correct anymore than trump winning the electoral college means that NO polls are correct

    Trump won on a constitutional technicality.
    Not because of the will of the voters.
    Not that any of you actually care what the voters want.

    He won the same way every President who has won the majority of the Electoral College won, Silly!

    And you're off topic!

    Returning to topic:

    SO HE CULTURALLY APPROPRIATED HIS NAME “BETO” FROM HISPANICS, BUT USED HIS WHITE PRIVILEGE TO GET OUT OF THIS:

    1998 Police Report: Witness Claimed Beto O’Rourke Tried To Leave The Scene Of His DWI Accident.

    The Anthony Police Department and DPS reports agree that he struck a truck going in the same direction and crossed a grassy median into the opposite lanes.

    Police said O’Rourke then attempted to leave the scene but was stopped by the same motorist he had just passed. The unidentified motorist “then turned on his overhead lights to warn oncoming traffic and to try to get the defendant (O’Rourke) to stop,” the report says.

    The DPS report described O’Rourke as having “glossy” eyes, slurred speech, smelling of liquor, and almost falling to the ground as he got out of his car.​

    Twenty years ago? Really? That's what you think will tank his candidacy? Did he pay anyone hush money to keep it quiet? LOL! You can tell when the Repubs are nervous about a candidate because they will drag up ancient history because it's the only dirt they can find.

    Democrats were thrilled to run Bush's 30 year old DUI as an election eve surprise. Karma's a mean bitch!

    [​IMG]
    Tried to flee his DUI

    He blew in the range of .135 on the police breathalyzer when the state’s legal limit was .08. He was hauled in for DWI — but charges were dismissed when he completed a “diversion program” approved by the court. It helps to have a dad who was a judge at the time in El Paso, I guess:

    Police Report: Beto O’Rourke Tried to Flee Scene of Drunk-Driving Crash

    A police report obtained by the Houston Chronicle revealed previously unknown details about the arrest of the then-26-year-old O’Rourke for DWI.

    Could you or I-- not the son of influential local judges-- drunk drive, hit a truck, spin into incoming traffic, try to flee, and end up with charges dismissed?

    The globalist Democrat Party pushing their healthcare for everyone and anyone who can get here from anywhere, who come and go unchecked it unregulated, paid for by the American people, platform, are going to be shocked when it falls flatter then a pancake in November.

    Nearly did, but Bush didn't hit another vehicle and flee the scene and then evade conviction because his parents were judges.

    Two Americas.

    One where we are accountable to the law and another where folks do whatever the hell they want and pay no price.

    If the TX thing doesn't work out he should move to MA. They are accustomed to being represented by Drunk Driving Senators.

    Which would be worse? Kneeling during the anthem or standing and giving the finger in the direction of the flag?

    There is nothing more American than the freedom to show your disrespect for America!

    I can think of hundreds of things more patriotic than disrespecting America! That is not to say I am disrespecting the freedom of the morons that disrespect the country. I just see them as idiotic! That also doesn't make me a lemming following along. I despised Obama's presidency, but had I spoken up regarding my disgust for the job he was doing as compared to those today against Trump, I would have been considered a bigot as opposed to a patriot! How and why is it different? Kind of like voting for a candidate because of the color of their skin or their gender. Absolutely moronic, but freedom is freedom!

    Kneeling for the flag is no place near the top of the patriotic list! To so many Americans that have served and seen their brothers and sisters die defending America's freedoms, it is the most offensive action a person can take. Intelligence says, find another way to protest for your cause, but these entitled individuals don't have that much brain power!

    Guess that's why this guy is losing by 8-11 points depending on the poll.

    Cruz is not safe

    The dead from their graves will vote for O”Rourke as many times as it takes to win the election for him

    Why not? Kneeling is an act of fealty and reverance.. We have a great country that can stand a bit of introspection. ... or are we a country of yes men and posers?

    The stated purpose for kneeling by the black NFL players is to disrespect America
