TEMPERATURES, FORECASTS AND
RADAR AND WILL ALERT YOU IN
CASE OF SEVERE WEATHER WHEREVER
YOU ARE.
CAMPAIGN 2018, DEMOCRAT
U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE BETO
O'ROURKE ANNOUNCED RECORD
BREAKING FUNDRAISING.
HIS CAMPAIGN SAID HE RAISED
MORE THAN $38 MILLION, MORE
THAN THREE TIMES THE $12
MILLION REPUBLICAN INCUMBENT
TED CRUZ RAISED DURING THE SAME
PERIOD.
EVEN WITH THAT FUNDRAISING
ADVANTAGE, AT LEAST ONE
POLITICAL ANALYST SAID O'ROURKE
NEEDS TO STEP UP HIS GAME.
ONE POLITICAL ANALYST I
SPOKE WITH SAYS BETO O'ROURKE
NEEDS TO SHARPEN HIS
ADVERTISING AGAINST TED CRUZ
AND STOP PLAYING MR. NICE GUY.
DEMOCRAT BETO O'ROURKE IS
ATTRACTING BIG CROWDS AND
RAISING RECORD AMOUNTS OF
MONEY.
BUT REPUBLICAN TED CRUZ IS
STILL LEADING IN THE POLLS.
SMU POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR
CAL JILLSON SAYS O'ROURKE CAN
STILL REGAIN MOMENTUM.
HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO
RETHINK HIS ADVERTISING
CAMPAIGN.
Reporter: JILLSON SAID
O'ROURKE MUST EXPLAIN TO VOTERS
WHY TEXAS WOULD BE BETTER OFF
WITH HIM AS SENATOR THAN CRUZ,
SOMETHING JILLSON SAYS O'ROURKE
HAS NOT DONE.
O'ROURKE HAS BEEN UNWILLING
TO DO THE NEGATIVE STUFF, BUT I
DON'T THINK YOU CAN JUST LEAVE
IT OUT EVEN IF YOU'RE RUNNING A
POSITIVE CAMPAIGN.
YOU STILL HAVE TO CHALLENGE THE
GUY WHOSE JOB YOU WANT.
Reporter: O'ROURKE TELLS
SUPPORTERS HE DOESN'T LIKE
GOING NEGATIVE AND IN HIS
LATEST TV AD HE SAYS HE DOESN'T
WANT TO PLAY TO PEOPLE'S FEARS.
I'M CONFIDENT THAT WHEN WE
SEE EACH OTHER NOT AS DEMOCRATS
OR REPUBLICANS, BUT AS TEXANS,
AS AMERICANS, AS HUMAN BEINGS,
THERE'S NO STOPPING US.
Reporter: DURING HIS PLANO
RALLY LAST WEEK CRUZ MOCKED
O'ROURKE'S ADS.
THEY'RE ALL ABOUT RAINBOWS
AND PUPPIES AND HUG AND KISS.
SO YEAH, HE MAY OPEN UP THE
BORDERS AND MAKE US
FUNDAMENTALLY LESS SAFE, BUT HE
KID.
TED CRUZ IS LEADING THE
FIGHT FOR THE TEXAS, -- BUT HUG
A KID.
TED CRUZ IS LEADING THE
FIGHT FOR THE TEXAS OIL AND GAS
INDUSTRY.
BETO O'ROURKE, THINGS
POPPING OUT OF HIS NECK,
TERRIBLE THINGS FOR TEXAS.
Reporter: PROFESSOR JILLSON
SAYS IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS
BEFORE ELECTION DAY CRUZ WILL
LIKELY RUN ADS ABOUT HIS
PRIORITIES IF HE'S REELECTED.
JILLSON SAYS THAT'S TYPICAL OF
A CAMPAIGN, BUT O'ROURKE'S
CAMPAIGN IS NOT TYPICAL.
HE SAYS HE HAS REFUSED TO HIRE
ANY CONSULTANTS.
