"SNIP....
Beto ORourke is not shying away from the spotlight as President Trump prepares to hold a rally in the El Paso hometown of the former congressman and potential presidential candidate, the Texas Tribune reports.
On Monday evening, ORourke will lead a march through the city and then speak at a local sports center at 7 p.m. local time the same time Trumps rally is set to begin
The events are intended to highlight El Pasos strength as a binational community and push back against Trumps long-sought border wall.

If I could somehow get out to El Paso, I'd attend Beto's.

Hope the MAGATs have just as much fun in there.

(118,694 posts)to start something and make Beto look bad? They tried to do Obama in by sending gorgeous women at him at his first congressional black caucus. Again and again. Obama went home upset to Michelle he was so disgusted. GOP will take advantage of anything to get something on candidates they are afraid of. People might get hurt in the process.

(14,492 posts)I would be willing to bet money that the Russians along with some US-based right wing groups will be inciting trouble on social media just like they did in 2015/2016. Can't recall exact details, but I do remember they literally started a small riot using a fake black people group to stir up shit in Texas.
I hope Beto has spread the word about this probable threat and that he has some geeks monitoring social media for what's coming.

(11,885 posts)Bad people to infiltrate Beto's group to start something he then can use to attack him with. That's how trump does to incite something to use against others with, and claim its Beto's bad people. I hope Beto's group realizes that could happen, and watch out for that. trump will have to pay a lot of people to attend to have more people at his rally than what Beto will have. Former trump supporters should protest the trump rally after seeing how he screwed them now with his wealthy tax scam bill, and they are having to pay for the wealthy's huge tax cuts.
