Beto blows it for his Texas leftist candidate

Beto changes a flat tire

The Senate election and presidential candidate loser Robert Francis [aka Beto] O'Rourke, a guy who had to adopt a fake Hispanic name to try winning their vote, didn't do any better with his support for Democrat Eliz Markowitz in her race against Republican Gary Gates for state House District 28.

It was a blowout on Tuesday for Gates who polled 58% of the vote to Markowitz's paltry 42% in final, but still unofficial results, according to the Associated Press.

This victory for Gates comes in spite of the other endorsements by leftists like billionaire Michael Bloomberg, and multi millionaire liar Sen, Elizabeth "Dances Like Tree" Warren (D-MA).

Eliz plays a guitar

Regarding O'Rourke, the AP wrote: “Beto O’Rourke practically made the district a second home after ending his own presidential campaign in November, spending weekends knocking on doors in Katy’s affluent neighborhoods. One national Democratic group called Forward Majority, which is spending millions of dollars nationwide to flip GOP-controlled state houses, says it has spent $400,000 on the race, at least four times what the group spent on any other Texas district in 2018.”

Beto also plays guitar

Democrats and the media had tried to claim that this was a bellwether race for this November that this race was going to help them push their narrative that Texas was turning purple. Hopefully they are right about this bellwether prediction as it seems that red is the new purple.

“It’s the symbolism,” said Mark Jones, a political scientist at Rice University. “It would help Democrats with the narrative that Texas is turning purple.”

Beto shreds on skateboard

Abbott’s office published a video on Twitter showing Gates celebrating the victory late on Tuesday night.

Abbott took a shot at O’Rourke earlier in the evening, writing: “Wait. Beto math was that if he won or was close in a House district then he could help a democrat win. He came within 3% in this district. Early returns show the Republican winning by about 18% Beto math doesn’t work. All of that $ was incinerated.”

Markowitz tried to do verbal calisthenics after her bellwether double digit loss, pretending somehow that it is a win. This makes perfect Democrat sense, if losing is the new winning. She bloviated that Texas Democrats had established momentum heading into November. If by momentum she means staggering losses, then she makes a good point.

Beto goes to the dentist

“We knew this election would be tough — it’s not easy to take on Republicans in an off-year special election, but we made this seat competitive in a way it’s never been before,” Markowitz bloviated. “We head into November having established a movement for change and that movement will continue across the state of Texas through November. This is a grassroots campaign dedicated to putting people over special interests, and we’ve built a network that will last for years to come.”

And by grassroots, if Markowitz means that she is smoking grass, then point well taken.

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel responded to the blowout win by writing on Twitter:

“Big GOP win in a TX special election! Dems spent $1M+ and called #HD28 a “bellweather” [sic] for 2020. National Dems like Biden, Bloomberg, Beto & Warren went all-in. Congratulations @GatesforTexas , @RSLC , and our hundreds of grassroots volunteers who got involved!”

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
