Trump, O'Rourke battle over wall at dueling El Paso rallies
By Jordan Fabian - 02/11/19 09:48 PM EST

President Trump on Monday knocked Beto O’Rourke, the former Texas congressman and potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, as the two men held competing rallies in the border city of El Paso, Texas.

Trump traveled to the Lone Star State to make his case for a border wall. But he appeared just as interested in countering O’Rourke, who staged his own demonstration against the president’s immigration policies that reportedly drew thousands of people just blocks away from Trump’s event.

“He challenged us,” the president said, claiming he drew a larger crowd than O’Rourke in the former congressman's own hometown.

“Not good,” Trump added. “I would say that may be the end of his presidential bid.”

Robert Francis is hard to watch. Fresh off a month of solo-(wonder if he stopped by to see the wife and kids)- navel gazing and self-indulgent vision quest, he twitched and jerked his way through an outrageous speech. "Immigrants make us safer and smarter." I'd like to see the stats on that one. He has a very low opinion of actual citizens.
