Now that Beto O’Rourke has officially thrown his hat into the 2020 ring, he’d better be prepared for everything that goes with it. If Mr. Nice Guy wants to have a chance in this race, he’s gonna have to fight a little dirty. Like Kamala Harris:
A short story of DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY trickery –>
KAMALA HARRIS runs google search ads on BETO's Name (keywords 'Beto' and 'America)

when the user clicks – intentionally or unintentionally – they're taken to a KAMALA sign-up page.
But TWIST: the page has been doctored to match BETO'S black & white colors, and Kamala logo moved off to the side

The proof that this was intentionally doctored to look like a Beto page? All in the URL for the search ad –> https://t.co/Wjpusio3Fq
Look closely and you'll see "%2Bbeto and %2Bamerica_ad"

and that's how you get people interested in Beto's big announcement to – accidentally or intentionally – sign up for Kamala Harris's email list

The issue isn't running search ads against your opponents name — that's super common and non-controversial!
But designing a new email sign-up page to mimic your opponent's color scheme? That's just a weeeeeee bit trickier.
to be clear, I admire it

Told you she was going to destroy him.
This is just the fun with search engine phase. https://t.co/nvsAiqbeQ8

We can’t wait to see what else she’s got planned for him.
The media is dominated by the Democrat Party but apparently understands nothing about how Party politics actually work. That's why it was hilarious to watch reporters swoon over "Beto" for the past few days. The other Party candidates will turn him into roadkill. https://t.co/xM7P9x1yzr
