As Twitchy reported, Beto O’Rourke is holding a “March for Truth” and protest rally in El Paso, Texas, just a quarter-mile down the road from President Trump’s pro-wall rally. Later it will be called prophetic that O’Rourke’s opening act was former state senator Wendy Davis, who enjoyed a ton of media coverage and Hollywood support for her gubernatorial campaign, which went down in flames.
O’Rourke might have thought he was being clever by setting up shop right outside Trump’s front door, but Jennifer Epstein reports that you can hear the music from the Trump rally at O’Rourke’s event, which looks … intimate. We’d love for some reporter to give us a wide shot of the, um, crowd.

Three women (late teens, early twenties) just got a little wave and smile from Beto from across the crowd, and they are very excited about it. One jumped up and down.
