A month after ending his presidential campaign, Democrat Beto O’Rourke has turned his attention to state politics — namely, an effort to help flip the Texas House of Representatives from Republican control to the Democrats.
With Texas Democrats nine seats away from retaking the majority of seats in the Texas House, O’Rourke is trying to convince his donor base to send money to an organization called Flip The Texas House, which has targeted 17 House Districts in which Republican candidates won by fewer than 10 percentage points last year. More than half are districts in which O’Rourke won the majority of votes as he ran for U.S. Senate.
“In 2018, I carried nine of the 17 districts now represented by Republicans. So we know that we can do this,†O’Rourke said in the email. “We just need your help to make sure that we make the most of this opportunity.â€
Ten of the targeted districts are in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and five are in and around Houston. One is in San Antonio and one is in Killeen....

HAHAHAHA! LOL!
This FAKE MEXICAN can't even win his own district, much less the whole State.
My God...what a loser.

If he flips it like he did his skateboard, then he will land face-planted.
