Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America credit the Houston Chronicle for reporting what dozens of fawning Beto O’Rourke features have not – that he not only drove drunk in 1998, but caused a major accident and then tried to flee the scene. They also react to John McCain snubbing 2008 campaign aides Steve Schmidt, Nicolle Wallace, and John Weaver from his funeral invitation list, presumably over their willingness to trash him to make money and launch media careers following that election. And as a former NBC producer insists the network spiked Ronan Farrow’s reporting on the sexual assaults and harassment by Harvey Weinstein, Jim zeroes in on why NBC wanted nothing to do with the story.

Hey, Jim, who’s buying the booze for your wake? It matters.
I have to wonder about Beto, Jon Ossoff, et all. I wonder if this isnt the democrat consultant class swindling the democrat donors. They spent millions on Jon, and it wasnt close, they’re spending millions on Beto – and its not going to be close. You’ve noted the problems with Beto’s resume, and his past infractions. (now I want to hear more about the B&E rap – maybe thats a more dire story than the media has let on as well)
My thinking is that Gov Abbot is winning by 20 points, I just can’t see Abbot winning so big, and not bring a lot of support to the rest of the ballot. (Not sure if senators or congressmen are up or down ballot from a governor) I think Cruz is going to beat Beto by 10+ points as well.
At some point all these democrat donors are going to be maxed out on all these expensive losers.
This should also be nails in the idea of campaign finance controls… The democrats have had the most expensive congressional races in history, and have lost them. Out spending winners. Bigly.
