Is O’Rourke correct? Would El Paso residents vote in favor of tearing down the existing wall there?

Anyone have any studies or factual data on that?

He said he worries that the wall there forces people to cross the border in more dangerous places, so his first concern is how easy it is for people to enter illegally,not stopping them. He is a whacko

Is that why he holds no public office? @FreeSpirit1

@jackjjackson Could be, but he is popular with some people.

Maybe the ones that drove Amazon out of NYC? @FreeSpirit1

@jackjjackson He served three terms in the state legislature. Probably could have gone for a fourth if he didn't attempt to unseat Cruz.

So you agree that he is a citizen and that’s it. Just what I said @QuixoticSoul

@jackjjackson You are technically correct - which some people say is the best kind of correct 😂

But he had a safe path to public office, and he didn't nearly unseat Ted Cruz by being a whacko.

Bottom line is he lost to a bad candidate. Rocking the beard Rafael is now entrenched. @QuixoticSoul

@jackjjackson Bottom line is that there hasn't been a Democratic senator in Texas since the early 90s, and the fact that this was a [i]close[/i] race is noteworthy in itself.

If it makes you feel better I’m sure history will include it as a footnote. @QuixoticSoul

@jackjjackson Oh, this isn't the last you've heard of Beto. It'll be interesting to see where he heads next.

jackjjackson · 61-69, M

It appears he is headed towards the fracturing the Dems festival with the rest of em it appears. @QuixoticSoul

QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M

@jackjjackson Wouldn't be all that surprised to see him as the front runner tbh.

Not what the current polls say but it’s a long ways out. The Dems have a history of division and not selecting the best candidate and the losers not supporting the nominee. We will see. @QuixoticSoul
