Question: Who is Beto O’Rourke?
Guess it’s time to get the band back together.
Spent more than 80 million and still lost.

I just can’t believe the amount of money that was spent on this guy and he took the L. It is a mind boggling amount of money. He could have taken that money, bought a Gulfstream and flown the band around for gigs. $crew the tour bus.

Democrats can make Beto Speaker of the Houses..............
The Constitution does not require the Speaker to be a Member of the House

Would be a wise move over he current leadership. 
The guy got 48% in Texas. Anyone who thinks he doesn't have a bright future is clearly not paying attention to him.

At least he's not a pedophile which seems to be a right wing thing.

It used to be that would be called trying to “buy an election”. I guess they must only say that now if you actually win.
Why are you avoiding the obvious response?
If you are judging losing expenditures, those of your party far exceeded that of the Dems. How weren’t they doing the same??

Oh gotcha.
I realize you won’t criticize Republicans for the same, so I’ll just leave this here (1 billion and lose the house)

Once again I must refer you to the title. This is the most money ever spent on a election and to top it off he lost. 2 records. It just goes to show you can’t always buy elections.
Now, if you want to talk about really wasting money we need to look no further than 2014. That was a blood bath. Not a complete waste of money by the Republicans as they kept the Senate. Be honest, you would have loved to have the Senate. There’s always 2022.
