The Great Irish Hope in Texas lost the Senate bid against Ted Cruz. But check out the truckloads of cash that was spent to try to flip the seat blue…

Robert ‘Beto’ Francis O’Rourke did not win in Texas.

Beto’s skateboarding, air drumming to ‘Teenage Wasteland‘, hanging out at Whataburger, the creepy revamp of The Village People’s YMCA, nor his far-left policies helped him win.

The other thing that didn’t help him was the massive influx of cash that flowed into his campaign. O’Rourke had raised more money than any other person running for a Senate seat in history. Many Hollywood celebrities threw money at him hoping to unseat Senator Cruz. In the end, O’Rourke had raised about $70 million dollars, most of which was from crowdfunding source, ActBlue.

That’s a crapton of cash.

And he refused to share it with other Democrats.

As if to rub salt in the wound, one conservative broke down the numbers by vote and revealed the ‘waste’.

It completely triggered the left, some of whom still see Beto as the perfect contender against President Trump in 2020.

Really.

[Editor’s note: I don’t take people seriously when they use the word ‘super’ like that in an unironic way, and neither should you.]

But this guy wouldn’t let it go. He ‘ackshully’-ed Doucette:

Doucette just shared the numbers, he wasn’t interpreting the data.

Of course, the left defends Beto spending the truckloads of cash on the possibility of a Senate seat.

The data appears to show that it just wasn’t worth it.

But then, maybe they’re trying to find some meaning in it…

Doucette then confused them with facts.

He didn’t back down despite the nonsense flung at him.

And after all that cash dropped on Beto for his loss, Beto drops an F-bomb in his concession speech on live TV:
