Democratic gubernatorial nominee Beto O’Rourke spoke to nearly 400 of the party faithful at a private home just outside of New Braunfels Saturday afternoon, reminding them of who they are and the values they’re supporting in the Nov. 8 general election.

The candidate lambasted his opponent, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, and the Republican state legislature for suppressing voter participation, abortion rights, medical care, and more during a 45-minute attack and Q-and-A during a 1½-hour town hall that almost didn’t happen.

400 for someone who has never done anything but try to run from an accident scene while drunk.

That's a good turnout. This should show you how badly people want change from the current leadership. We need better candidates though.

Remember children, Just say NO to Beto.

Please Lord, Do not let Beto be elected to any office.
