"SNIP....
A prominent conservative group is thrusting itself into the Democratic primary with a TV ad assailing Beto ORourke a move that comes as Republicans consider a broader campaign to meddle in the opposing partys contest to take on President Trump, Politico reports.
The anti-tax Club for Growth is expected to begin airing a two-minute commercial in Iowa this week aimed at dampening liberal support for ORourke, whos expected to enter the race any day. The spot paints the former Texas congressman as a politician dripping with white male privilege whos undeserving of the comparisons hes drawing to Barack Obama.

(10,844 posts)Beto O'Rourke. You can't buy that quality, so the GOP hopes to ding it. Just in case.
And yes, good one on Beto O'Rourke. He's making them sweat.

(11,686 posts)Did Beto officially announce he is running? If he has not then why are they bothering attacking him.

(11,686 posts)Well, if they waste their money and then he does not run then we can be happy that they wasted what they think is more important than anything. That much less to attack those who are running.

(118,845 posts)GOP group will get more bang for their buck if they label him before Beto announces with his usual wise words.This is to label Beto in the GOP bases mind as much as anything.

(16,508 posts)Hes already been on the business end of the Sirota treatment. I assume there will be other attempts to slur him and Im sure there will be people gullible enough to believe them.
Bernie brings the criticism on himself by not releasing his tax returns and refusing to sanction Russia on more than one occasion, along with his opaque views on guns.
