Beto O'Rourke: “This guy cannot keep the lights on. He cannot keep the economy going. He cannot keep us safe. He`s very bad for Texas…”

I think people will take it for what it is – it’s a gimmick, it’s a bribe. It’s another promise that the president will be unable to fulfill … It adds to the stink of desperation that is emanating from that convention centre.

We have to get serious. We have to be absolutely ruthless about getting back in power.

We’re going to fight these motherf-----s for as long as it takes, with everything we got. We’re never giving in, we’re never giving up, and we’re never bending the knee.

This extraordinary experiment 250 years in the making... all of us must do all that we can to keep it going.
