Beto O'Rourke's college tour is a leap of faith that he can turn his head in this world in his teens. profile political upset of the 2018 midterm elections nationally.
So far, the tour, which began Tuesday at Austin Community College and resumed Thursday before an overflow student crowd at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and in the evening, a standing-room-and-seated-on-carpet crowd of more than 1,200 in the ballroom at the AT & T Executive Education and Conference Center on the University of Texas campus, is generating the kind of fever-pitch energy that O'Rourke is counting on.
Taking the stage in Austin, O'Rourke said he is so devoting so much time to such a crucial juncture in the campaign on the turnout of a notoriously under-performing segment of the electorate.
Because, he told his audience audience, "This is where the action is."
"You are not the leaders of tomorrow," he declared. "You are the leaders of today."
"O'Rourke said," Most of us, at least, here, have the ability to vote or vote to vote, "O'Rourke said. "Those who because of their immigration status, or their status within the criminal justice system, can not vote. today. "
"O'Rourke continued" For every person who has not been registered yet, we are counting on you now, "O'Rourke continued. "For everyone who is already registered, the 22nd of October, the first day of voting, which is the most important ballot of your lifetime. 22. You with me? "
The crowd roared its approval.
In fact, it was impossible to make your way into the ballroom.
"Said a repetition of these states," said state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, D-Austin, who represents the UT campus and preceded O'Rourke to the stage.
"Our job in Austin is to run up the score for Beto," said Hinojosa, who described this as an ounce-in-a-generation election.
O'Rourke's remarks were, as usual, replete with applause lines, "every day, every woman, every man," and "every dreamer from the fear of deportation."
But, he said, what is really going on in this campaign is whether we are going to be a people or our ambitions.
In his campaign, he said, "We are going to fully embrace the genius of this country, that we can peacefully, non-violently, on the issues that we care most about, make sure this country reflects our priorities, our interests, our values, what's most important to us. "
"Everything we care about, that's all about you, defies any placement on the political spectrum," O'Rourke said. "This is not about the Democratic Party." In fact, if you are a Republican, you're in the right place right now. "Independent" You are in the right place right now.
The El Paso congressman said he was unfairly attacked by his rival, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and targeted by the NRA for being anti-gun, because he is for universal background checks for gun purchases – an idea he said he was supported by many gun owners – or portrayed as anti-police because he talks a two-tiered justice system applied unequally based on race and class.
"For every right reason in the world, though it's politically difficult, we've got to do this, right?" O'Rourke said. "We've got to make it good for everyone." We can not be sure that things are true, things that are necessary. is wrong and not willing to take a stand to make it right. "
What is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is the answer to that moment, the answer to the future of the future? still had the luck, "O'Rourke said.
"Let me close by saying this," O'Rourke said. Ulysses and Molly and Henry and their mom, and definitely having moments of doubt, about, what are we doing? You've made the most of the world at every single turn, in every community that you've seen in, we've been inspired by you, you've been inspired. That's why I'm confident that we're going to have a sixth birthday, and we're going to be celebrating it. "
