Florida Democrats tried to use the Parkland shooting in 2018 to try and humiliate DeSantis, Scott, and Republicans across the state as well. This is not going to work.
You think the political optics of being appalled by the slaughter of schoolchildren might not play well with suburban swing voters? Wow, good to have the inside scoop! I'll let everyone know!
Yeah... no. O'Rourke's speech is resonating because people are fed up. This isn't a #resistlib thing. People are f**king tired. He spoke for many people.
Beto's speech is resonating across the country but doubtful it is with Texas voters.
Like it or not, his interruption sort of made him seem like he's playing politics with the moment. And, frankly, he is even though he's correct in the point he was making. Anyway, it's not going to sit well with independent voters, and Texas isn't blue enough for him to make up the difference, even if it's a slight one. The speech/interruption isn't going to bring in any new voters.
