Senate race turns ugly as campaign signs are vandalized in west Houston
Over 50,000 people turned out for Beto O'Rourke's campaign rally in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, making it the largest political rally for a single candidate since the 2016 presidential election.
The Texas Senate candidate enlisted Willie Nelson for the event, enraging conservative Willie Nelson fans who have apparently never looked into their fave's politics. We suppose they're also not pleased with Nelson's new song, "Vote 'Em Out," which was written specifically for the midterm elections.
Donald Trump, whose best-attended campaign rally attracted around 15,000 people, has promised to hold a "major rally" for O'Rourke's opponent, chunky soup aficionado Ted Cruz.

Once again, Ted Cruz's face is a meme!
O' Rourke ad is nothing but a Trump tweet pasted on the side of a truck. Very effective though.
WOW!
I hope Beto didn't get stoned with Willie...we may never see him again.
Excellent!
Hahaha.
Why people voted for Cruz to begin with is a mystery to me. I am guessing only because an R is beside his name. Would love to see him booted.
Conservative fans are outraged over Willie Nelson? Really? They must not know him very well. He has been stoned longer than I have been alive.
I missed it, and the local news here in DFW completely ignored it.
<shocked face>
Duh, conservatives live in a world of perpetual outrage. No big deal. Can't wait until the Trump takes away their birth control. GOPERS need more welfares and food stampers.
