DraftBeto Beto will win if nominated. If Bernie gets the nomination he will drag the Democrats down to a historic loss especially in the south and the Midwest the country will not replace a crazy old man with another one who is a socialist!

Telepathy ^^

Where are his tax returns?

Most of that money was left over from his race against Ted Cruz. His campaign even lies about it in their text messages to potential supporters. This was texted to me this morning:

He's not being transparent at all. No specifics on where the money came from (number donors, avg donation amount, etc.). Why?

Actually 4.5 million came from the Democrat party...so he raised only 1.6 million. But why let pesky facts get in the way of a media love fest!

We need Trump, not u

Smells of corruption given 1) low placement in polls, 2) late entry, 3) nonational infrastructure, 4) no disclosure of of donors or average contribution. Reminder that O’Rourke raised money from Republicans to get his seat in the first place.

Do you enjoy catapulting propaganda?

Bundlergate

I tend to believe the theory that he donated what was left from his senate race to the DNC which in turn donated it back to him à la HRC/Obama trickery. If true, is this not campaign fraud? At the very least, it needs to be exposed because it would reveal he is a liar.

He wont disclose how many ppl donated that 6.1 mil bc they likely are a small amount of wealthy ppl. BernieSanders is completely transparent on all of his donations bc he's not shady like BetoORourke

Following the money again? nobeto

Ya but raised from where? You'd think if it was actually grassroots funding w/ small dollar donations then it would state that. Lots of indirect references about the value of a grassroots campaign but decline to state. Another attempt to gaslight voters not paying attention

Recycled campaign funds from his failed Senate run. He's no Bernie Sanders.

well, he did Almost beat Ted Cruz so... looks pretty good.

go ahead and talk about all his superdelegates you HACKS

Actually he didn’t. do your job, he received 4.5 million from the Texas Democratic Party from his previous campaign. That doesn’t count as fundraising.

You mean 'Robert I changed my name to sound more Hispanic' beto o dork is another Joke from the demRAT party

BetoForPresident

More than 4 million was left over from his senate run

LOL. From how many small donors? We're poor, not stupid. Bernie2020

This is laughable- he has no grass roots support at all, only getting propped up by all you msm and establishment types

Beto is a fraud with phony fundraising tactics using Senate campaign funds to boost his campaign now. Game over Beto!!!

CORRECTION: Big Oil top fossil fuel donor recipient Beto O'Rourke sets a high-oil mark for Dems.

Ummmm... his senate race campaign gave back 4.5 million to the Texas Democrats. Who in return gave it back to his presidential campaign on the day he announced. Your better than this ... give the whole story!!! Do some research (what your paid to do!)!!

This guy knows he won't win, he doesn't care to win, he is a drifter in life and is just loving the attention & travel time away from his family. I cannot take this moron seriously.

And $6 mil divided by $2,800 is 2,142 🤷🏻‍♀️

a lot of drug dealers will support him. The key point is not about the wall. It is drug lords!

Where did these grassroots donations come from? Hmmm

I'll just file that under, 'So What?'.

Damn

- He supports fracking - He votes with Rebublicans a LOT - He voted to fast track TPP - He broke his no fossil fuel $ Pledge - He did not back Medicare for all - He did not support $15 min. wage - He voted FOR a Blue Lives Matter bill He's a wine-mom friendly closet Republican

'Man, everybody lies in this movie!'

Papa Soros is dishing out the do-ra-mi for all the socialist progressive democrats and RINOS.

That is a lot of 'grassroots' money in 24 hours. Hmmm...

and like 3 people gave him it, neverbeto bernie2020 BernieOrWeAllDie

WRONG! FAKE!! Democratic Party gifted him back over $4.5 million which was left over from his loosing senate race! Report on the facts!

Money, money, money, money = Democracy American-style

Please report on the fact that he won't release where the money came from. He won't release individual donors or average donation. We know where this money came from.

That shows hes somebody's lacky.

WHY? 👉 WHY? 👉 O’Rouke has not yet released any additional information or specifics separate from the total figure.” WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM **Who donated He needs to disclose who bought him—which corporation bought and paid for Beto? BetoORourke BERNIE2020

It was 6 dudes at a million bucks each. Plus some pauper who could only afford 100k.

This is such bullshit journalism, he got most of that money from the leftover campaign money he had donated to texasdemocrats. His REAL 1st day donation is maybe equal to Kamala Harris.

His name is Robert

Gooooooo BETO!!!!

All from his billionaire father-in-law

How much came from Nieto? Surely more to come for playing ball and tearing down the wall

There is something wrong here

Establishment man, judging only by money raised.

Fake Mexican, real pendejo!

when billionaire oprah winfrey likes you ... the democratic candidate has to suck big time and this guy does

He is still gonna lose.

Buuuuulllllllshiiiiiiiit

He’s relying on bundlers & not reporting the numbers:

Thanks to XPerezNY for finding this:

he's no AndrewYangVFA...

Why isn't he releasing of contributions or average donation size?

Amazing how it's just enough to beat Bernie's number. Wonder if we'll ever know who poured money down this rathole?...

Why would he wait to release this information unless it was a lie. Did he say what the average donation was? Did he say how many donors? You are supposed to be a news company. Report some news already!

Not from small donors he didn't. I highly doubt he even got 6.1. Keep dreaming MSM. He can stay in TX. Not Presidential Material and has absolutely no solid stance on anything. Outside of taking fossil fuel $$

What a ball washer you are!!! The American people don’t need another spineless anti-American running the show, we already had that with brother Obama!!!!

He prefers Psychedelic Warlord!

Beto is the Olivia Jade of politics. Lori Loughlin approved

You can’t claim ‘grassroots’ without showing demographics. He’s the rich people’s candidate of choice

Liberals are the stupidest cohort of citizens in existence. The establishment is giving you the illusion that BOR is viable; much like HRC, he is not. ShitLiberals

Dems doing what Dems do....wasting money

Wealthy people do strange things behind closed doors

👖🔥🥀

How many donors? What was the average amount? Stop lying to the American people. Don't try to force this GOP-lite faux progressive on us in a time of crisis.

What a bunch of BS!!!

Why won't his campaign release the average donations

it doesnt mean anything without releasing all the rest of the donor information. beto is a con man

His billionaire father-in-law wrote that check.

Beto beats Bernie's first day fundraising haul. Bernie raised $5.9 million in the first 24 hours. But... 'Mr. O’Rourke’s aides would not say what their average contribution was or how many total donors contributed within the first 24 hours of his bid.'

Can you say BULLSHIT! RECIEPTS!

I'm not voting for him it's Sanders

this is so disingenuous and we'll remember this when his FEC filling is out. Beto's married into a wealthy family and 'i don't want to share the ' to two days later 'actually, it's the most of anyone' is shady

He could have taken in $12 million. He still leans right.

From how many donors? Bernie's were small-dollar donations. How about Beto?

Then why didn't he disclose when asked, right after 1st day? Don't trust this guy

why are y'all printing a lie? if he cannot tell us how many and who donated, this is rigged. i will believe it when he posts all the break downs.

By bundling. You forgot that bit.

Manufactured candidate manufacturing support

1. No, O'Rourke is not 'Obama 2.0' 2. No, O'Rourke is not much of a progressive 3. No, O'Rourke is probably not going to do well on the debate stage

yet he's hiding numbers to indicate how much of his haul was grassroots as opposed to big donors

How much is the DNC?

You gonna ignore when facts are released and the truth about this comes out?

Bundlers & billionaires - another corrupt business as usual politician raising bigPharma, oil, and WallStreet $. He had 220,000 raised in his first 6 hours. Not buying legitimacy of this nor will I vote for him. Beto Democrat DNC OnlyBernie Bernie2020 FeelTheBern

Define “grassroots.” How many donors made up this $6.1M?

How can you truly run a grassroots campaign when your wife is a billionaire?! Asking for a friend, AKA (Robert Francis O’Rourke)

his name is Francis, no Beto ...FRANCIS

Corporate Democrat like Hillary

Receipt? Number of individual donors?

If he raised it in 24 hours, why would he hide that for a week? We’re going to have 8 years of Trump, bc D party doesn’t want to change.

People just throwing away their money.

When are you going to vet Bernie? VettingBernie

If you believe the Beto hype coming from the ruling class, you're the reason elites have been allowed to ruin our lives for decades.

Let's go!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 beto2020 BetoORourke Despite of this good news, it sucks that it's gonna be HOW much money each candidate brings in that's gonna dictate who's top contender at the beginning.

Soros Money? there is something fishy here...

I don't understand one thing. If you can't be elected to your own State Senate what makes you qualified to be president?

A lot of wasted money, no way Robert Francis will become President. Be surprised if he makes it through the debates.

definitely no dirty money in that haul. Nope...

Yeah and in five years we'll find out the money came from illegal sources and or donor's But of course he's a TheDemocrats so no one will say a word BetoORourke A true fake ! With a fake name ! Better get into the game GOP

Wanna bet this came from his Billionaire wife's Billionaire friends? It took him days to release the numbers, COME F*CKING ON!

Why are you not telling people the average contribution? Possible some corporations may have donated? Why not release the individual number of contributors? Why wait 4 days to release day 1 numbers? YOURE A FRAUD.

Vegas here we come! Yeah baby! Suckers

I've been trying to still understand what he stands for. This stinks. Yesterday someone reported 186k on day 1 for beto and now 6.1? Why did he 'choose' not to tell? Also watched his speeches, hardly any crowd.

How many individual donors?

'O'Rourke's campaign provided only the topline fundraising number, not more detailed information that other campaigns have disclosed, such as the number of donors and news donors, the size of the average contribution, the geographical diversity of contributors, ...' NBC news

A fool and his/her money are soon parted.

Okay is it just me or is this witting by BetoORourke a major red flag? If you read this not knowing the author you would assume serial killer..but because he’s a politician he’s ok? I’m pretty sure Harvey Weinstein isn’t just a ladies man but again just my opinion.

rickklein

Wow.... that’s a lot of wasted money 💴 💰 .... It’s a shame that money couldn’t go to more useful things, other than to BetoORourke s campaign... The Circus 🎪 has begun... da da da dala da da .... 🎪 🙄

He did out-raise Ted Cruz by 50m! How did that work out?

Vote AndrewYangVFA ! He's amazing!

Aka Robert Francis.

Lol, from the cartel. His father-in-law owns the border land in El Paso. Why do you think he wants open borders?

O'Rourke's campaign provided only the topline fundraising number, not the number of donors and news donors, the size of the average contribution, the geographical diversity of contributors, and how much money he's raised since the first day.

That’s because he is the Master

I want to see the specifics on this fundraising.

Beta Beto

**That was from big donors not small ones like Bernie Sanders. BetoORourke refused to give info on how many donors and how much each donor contributed

Honest question. Why is he called “Beto” and not just “Robert” or “Bob?”

Beto, when Irish Robert decided to change his race to pander to Hispanics.

6 million from Soros and 100k from special olympics.

Least he’s a younger, new face in politics.

How much did Hillary spend and lose? How much did beta spend and lose against Ted?

He has been anointed.

Must not be too hard when married to a Texas real estate mogul.

Did his wife give him that?

He also outraised ted Cruz but still lost

Get in Biden!! Then the top 3 day one totals will be white men!! We need to nominate one of the 3 to take on Trump. We already tried the woman thing and it didnt work AnyWhiteMale2020!!!

Just make sure that isn’t fire water, you don’t want him drinking and driving again on his way to pick up his mistress !

Just demonstrates how many really ignorant people there are

Fools and their money

Obama 2.0

One born every minute

Allot of rich people want Beanhead elected. WHY?

His rapid popularity shows clearly the shallowness of our society in choosing leaders.

More water in the swamp is what I see.

Cool...

Eating steak again for a while!

You Beto believe it.
