Beto O'Rourke will not share $38 million he raised with other Dem Senate candidates
The Hill, Oct 15, 2018, Michael Burke

Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) said Monday that he won't share the $38 million his campaign raised in the third quarter of the year with other Senate Democratic candidates.

"No," O'Rourke told a reporter who asked if he would share the funds with candidates in tighter races, according to the Washington Examiner. 

"I'm focused on Texas. Most of our contributions have come from Texas. All of them have come from people. Not a dime from PACs," he said, according to the report.

O'Rourke added that he is honoring "the commitment that those who've contributed to this campaign have made to me." 

"If they want to contribute to someone else, they should do so. If they want to contribute to a campaign that's going to win this historic victory for Texas and the country, then I'm grateful for the contribution and I'm going to make the most of it, so that's what we're focused on," he said.

A spokesman for O'Rourke's campaign confirmed to The Hill that O'Rourke doesn't plan to share the funds.

Why would he give it away? Whatever is left over can be used for more Quixotic runs for higher office.

So says Beatoff. A blatant lie. Most of his money is from Soros, the Communist Party and both coasts. The FEC has tagged him for foreign donations.
I can't wait for the debate tonight. Go Cruz!

He's a typical lying leftist.   He'll talk the talk but will never walk the walk.  He probably cheats on his personal taxes, too.

You can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it.

Thanks for the info.  I definitely want to tune in.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

The male debate moderator Jason obviously despises Ted Cruz. His bias was apparent.

Robert Francis was really tough, he called Cruz a liar numerous times. He still wants to represent all Texas. LOL!

So weird to see a rat claim the money he raised is his.
