Willie says “Vote ‘Em Out!”
by digby
Rallies aren’t really an indicator of anything. And having a Texas living legend headlining in Austin can’t go wrong. Still, this is pretty impressive:
When 85-year-old country music legend Willie Nelson joined 46-year-old Texas Democratic Senate candidate Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) on stage Saturday night in Austin, they were greeted by more than 50,000 people, according to O’Rourke’s campaign. Other estimates cite roughly 55,000 in attendance. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday those kind of numbers would make it the largest rally for a single candidate since “at least” the 2016 presidential campaign. Nelson even debuted a new song at the rally, “Vote ‘Em Out,” which he ended with a shout out to the Democratic candidate: “Thank you Beto, all the way buddy!”
Trumpie’s gonna be mad… certainly, he must have had the yugest rallies, right? He must’ve. It can’t be true.
