She was spewing conspiracy theories about my congressman.
She made it sound like he was as bad as Trump, but he's a good Democrat.

I don't know why she's running as a Dem.

Thought this was an interesting excerpt.

“O’Rourke, who started a web design company after earning a degree in literature from Columbia, is a prominent figure in El Paso politics who likes to drop F-bombs to punctuate his policy statements during political rallies.”

I just remember solid Democratic policies from a level-headed, effective speaker. Plus he's refused to take any PAC money.

He's been to several West Texas districts at least three times since he began running. That's extraordinary because normally the Democratic party blows off my part of the state as a lost cause.

Sorry if it came across that way and I see how it easily could. He sounds like an excellent person to support. Measured f-bombs can serve a purpose.
