Beto O’Rourke Follows In Obama’s Footsteps With Latest Campaign Hire
Presidential hopeful and former Democratic Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke revealed on Monday that he made a key addition to his campaign by hiring one of former President Barack Obama’s top campaign staffers.
Jennifer O’Malley Dillon, who was Obama’s deputy campaign manager for his 2012 presidential run, will be serving as the campaign manager for O’Rourke’s 2020 Beto for America campaign.
“I’m so excited to join the [Beto O’Rourke] team and get to work building a campaign that will lift people up and unite them to meet our challenges, and that will show up everywhere and listen to & value every voice,” O’Malley Dillon tweeted in response to a New York Times article that announced her hiring.
I’m so excited to join the @betoorourke team and get to work building a campaign that will lift people up and unite them to meet our challenges, and that will show up everywhere and listen to & value every voice.

“On a personal note, it’s still too rare for a mom of young kids to do this job. Everything I do is to help make a better world for them & *every* child,” O’Malley Dillon continued. “I’m proud my daughters & my son will watch mom go to work in this role, and of a candidate & campaign who value & support that.”
Obama was instrumental in convincing O’Rourke to launch his own bid for the presidency. The duo met in the former president’s Washington, D.C., office on Nov. 16, only ten days after O’Rourke was defeated by Republican Sen. Ted Cruz for the U.S. Senate seat in the state of Texas. O’Rourke publicly revealed a week later that he was considering a presidential run despite consistently claiming that he definitively would not be running for president

Dear Bozo O’Dorke :
No matter what you say or do, you have been exposed for the ass-clown that you are.
Just give up right now and save hundreds of your poor donors from losing their money.
You have no agenda [other than to destroy America] and you have no message. You belong to a criminal party that is now exposed and defunct. In short, you don’t stand a chance in hell of doing anything but scamming people out of their money.
Give it up, Fool.
