"SNIP....

“Beto O’Rourke 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, O’Rourke will lead a march through the city and then speak at a local sports center at 7 p.m. local time — the same time Trump’s rally is set to begin… The events are intended to highlight El Paso’s strength as a binational community — and push back against Trump’s long-sought border wall.”

1. YES!

Should be interesting to see whos is larger. 'Cause we know the Siberian Candidate has to have the biggest, even if he has to lie about it.

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

2. How many Trumpanzees will be imported from outside El Paso for his rally?

[RandySF]

3. How far apart?

I can see this ending badly.

[dalton99a]

5. The speaking venues are across the street from each other

Chalio Acosta Sports Center and El Paso County Coliseum

7. Oh no!

[RandySF]

24. Yeah, I don't like it either.

[murielm99]

8. Oh, this will be fun!

Please keep us posted about the crowd size, local reaction, local news coverage, etc.

[applegrove]

9. No. If anybody gets hurt in the ensuing riot it could be the end of Beto. This

is not funny. People could get hurt.

[Cha]

11. wow.. Gracias for that, dalton.

[ZZenith]

26. El Paso County Coliseum! Saw The Scorpians and Iron Maiden play there in August of '83.

Had to be 122F inside that building and people were dropping like flies from the stifling heat.

Hope the MAGATs have just as much fun in there.

6. This will be a good indicator to Beto's support. I look forward to it.

[Cha]

10. Gracias, Beto!

[applegrove]

13. You are not worried the GOP will exploit the closeness of the events

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.

[Cha]

14. No, I'm not worried..

we shall see how it turns out.

[applegrove]

15. I hope it goes peacefully.

[Awsi Dooger]

17. We can't allow fear to dictate

That's the specialty of the other side

I applaud Beto for doing this

[applegrove]

22. Yes. I am passive.

19. Applegrove, I would be just as concerned about social media attacks.

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.

[applegrove]

20. Yes. That too. Thank you. I hope Beto and his people are very

security and crowd management conscious.

[California_Republic]

16. Like!

[iluvtennis]

18. WTF trump holding a rally...doesn't he needs to be working to prevent a shutdown. Rhetorical

[KY_EnviroGuy]

21. Yes, and just as concerning is his security....

what with all the hoards of murderers, rapists, gang members and ISIS troops flooding across the border, how can Secret Service possibly protect the POTUS anywhere in Texas?.........

[iluvtennis]

32. Exactly.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

23. Nice!!

[Achilleaze]

25. Go Beto Go!

Too funny if Beto's thing turns out to be bigger than KGOP Comrade Dirty Donny*s thing.

27. trump will import

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.

29. Well, I hope that cool heads prevail.

I am hoping that there will be no violence, but it seems to me that violence will be courted by putting the two groups in close proximity.

33. +1

31. Get 'em, Beto.

I can't imagine anything enraging trump more than something taking attention away from one of his junior Nuremburg rants.
