Y'know, it could just be wishful thinking.

Saw a bunch of those "Beta" supporters on the side of the road on my way home last week. They were waving at everyone driving by. In a long line of cars waiting for a light to change, I only saw one wave back. In my commute to work, I've only ever seen one "Beta" sign. And in that same yard I've seen one of those "We are the 99%' signs in the past. I think they're the token libtard of that neighborhood.

If that Beto douchebag wins... we truly are at the end or the Republic.

Oh, just stow the melodrama.

And focus on taking out McCaskill. You're in the zone for a contest that's far more likely to make a difference over (at least) the next two years. We'll take care of 'Bater.

Yup...we have our token neighborhood Libtards; I've seen two "Beto" signs. The one couple I know is Jewish, which just ASTOUNDS me as to why Jews support the antisemitic Democrats. JSMH...

And in response to the question at hand...NO WAY!

It has long been a matter of public record that Beto O’Rourke was arrested for driving while intoxicated in 1998, but a police report recently obtained by the Houston Chronicle reveals that the Democratic Senate candidate crashed and tried to flee the scene before his arrest.

O’Rourke, then 26, was driving at “a high rate of speed” on a Texas highway roughly ten miles from the New Mexico border when he crashed into a truck and spun across the median into oncoming traffic. A witness whom O’Rourke passed shortly before crashing later told police he personally prevented O’Rourke from fleeing the scene. The unnamed witness “turned on his overhead lights to warn oncoming traffic and to try to get the defendant [O’Rourke] to stop,” according to the report.

The rising progressive star, who blew a 0.136 and a 0.134 on police breathalyzers, did not address the witness report that he tried to flee the scene in a statement released on Thursday.

“I drove drunk and was arrested for a DWI in 1998,” O’Rourke said. “As I’ve publicly discussed over the last 20 years, I made a serious mistake for which there is no excuse.”

Republican senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who is engaged in a tight race with O’Rourke, has not commented on the newly revealed details of his opponent’s arrest.

O’Rourke, the son of an El Paso County judge, was charged with driving while intoxicated following the incident but completed a court-ordered diversion program to ensure that the charges would be dismissed.

The DWI arrest was not O’Rourke’s only youthful run-in with law enforcement: He was also arrested for trespassing after hopping a fence at a University of Texas at El Paso facility.

The Texas congressman and Senate hopeful has cited his past wrongdoings in justifying his support for criminal-justice reform.

“Those mistakes did not ultimately define me or stop me from what I wanted to do in my life or how I wanted to contribute to the success of my family and my community,” O’Rourke wrote in an op-ed for the Chronicle published on Monday.

^^^^ Nice. Very nice.

Latest poll, as of today: Cruz ahead of Beto by only 1 percentage point!

Lawd, gimme strength

if there is one thing Mitch McConnell is good at it's dirty tricks campaigning. I've read 2 different accounts of Beto's dui from 20 years ago today. It was a bad dui, driving in oncoming traffic, hit and run, well over bac. daddy is a judge so it disappeared. Mitch/RNC will hammer him on that early and heavy. There's going to be a red tsunami in Nov. Can't let up but they are on the run.

Didja see that the Village Voice lefty rag for the last 60 years is officially tits up. More winning.

Today I heard the radio saying Cruz was ahead of Beto....I imagine he (cruz) has not been behind and has had the lead...

There are three Beto signs in my neighborhood now, Good I like knowing who the moonbats are!!

Suddenly there are Cruz signs springing up simingly out of nowhere....go Cruz.

As soon as I can establish residency, I'm going to get a DL and register to vote.

Recent polling here. Cruz by 9 points.
Cruz 54 Beto 45 among most likely voters.

It was not even close, I think they were reporting close to get more funding, Beto is getting financed by holliweird, and soros. I don’t see anyway Beto can win here, he is Obama wanna be, sanctuary city’s, take all firearms, commie, and a total scumbag on top of that.

Agree, fake news the last month or so.
Reality is starting to seep in.

If u need a sign.

Republican wins district hillary won by 12 pts. Turned a 100+ yr old district.

I donated to the Cruz campaign several times. They are worse than the NRA. I get calls from them several times a day. At least they use Valid caller ID.

The Cruz people have finally stopped calling (I did donate again this year).
But I get more political e-mail than all others put together including my Amazon habit.
