Really sheds light on how poorly he makes his decisions in the political arena. Not the sort of person I’d consider a viable leader given his track record. He should quit politics altogether.

by selling himself, just like the Clinton's and the Biden's and many others who should not be in a profession called public service.

Treason, lying, and stealing is not a profession. 3 professions are medicine, law, and theology.

Some reasonable thought contained within, but otherwise, how’d that work out for you? So much more to it than abortion issues. A bit of common sense absent on the extremes of both sides

Common sense in this case being the lesser of two evils.

Amy Hoover Sanders (O'Rourke)

From Heavy.com's Five Fast Facts on her: #2 answers your question:

...2. Her Father Sold a Real Estate Business to GE for at Least $2 Billion
Amy’s father, William “Bill” Sanders, is known as a real estate mogul, according to El Paso Inc. He owns Verde Realty and has been highly successful in all his businesses. The book “The Richest Man in Town” noted that Bill Sanders began Verde after building a fortune in the real estate investment trust business. He founded LaSalle Partners and then Security Capital, one of the most successful REITs in the country, and later sold it to GE. (Some sources say he sold it for $2 billion and others say $5.4 billion.) Security Capital was one of the most influential real estate companies in history. Forbes, however, has cautioned against assuming that Amy is a billionaire heiress. Forbes noted that her father’s net worth is likely currently closer to $500 million.

In 2006, while Beto was serving on the El Paso City Council, the Land Grab Opponents of El Paso filed an ethics complaint with the city, alleging Beto had a business relationship with the Paso del Norte Group, developers proposing a downtown revitalization plan. His company was providing Internet services to Paso del Norte, and Amy’s dad was a leader of the Paso del Norte Group. The city’s Ethics Review Commission dismissed the complaint in 2006...

I would have thought that both of his supporters knew this already...

“Both of his supporters…”. Amy and her daddy?

Personally, I doubt they are supporters. But the "campaign" sure was a great way to get him outta their hair for awhile, even if it cost them a couple million sammolians.

Texas was a racist backwards broke states when the Democrats were in charge, why would you want to go back? Democrats do not care about abortion, they only bring it up when war mongering is not viable during election years. It'll drop as fast as it pops up.
