very dumb democrat candidate for president, that s the end of him in this state, pledged to revoke the tax exempt status of many churches and religious charities. that was after a few weeks ago he said excuse me, we re going to take your guns away. beto, in a few short weeks got rid of guns and got rid of religion. not two good things in texas to get rid of. sandra: o rourke making a play for the lone star state yesterday as democrats hope to turn the state of texas blue. donna brazile is the former dnc interim chair and fox news contributor. good morning and welcome. good morning. let me just tell you, i love texas, you know, it was one of the most favorite states my parents took us every summer of my childhood to go to houston to see the astros. as you know, since 1980
i don t know if beto will be the nominee. i know he came within three points of beating ted cruz last year. but like i said, we still have a long way to go. we don t know which democrat will win the nomination and we don t know what message ultimately will galvanize the american people. beto is a very passionate fighter for gun safety rules given what has happened in texas over the last couple months with the mass shootings, i think that s the reason why he is out there with this message of gun safety. sandra: specifically on that message of religion, donna. that s being taken on by senator thom tillis, the republican senator published on fox news. make no mistake referencing that interview with beto o rourke, a chilling attempt to subvert the constitutional rights of americans of faith in order to social engineer our places of worship. while some other presidential
candidates are claiming they do not support eliminating the tax ex ept status for religious institutions we ve been here before and seen the pattern of fringe far left proposal gaining traction over time. many of these fringe proposals are now mainstream democratic party positions. take that one on. well, thom tillis is up for reelection and have a close race in north carolina. the only thing i have a concern about is when they begin to paint democrats with a broad brush. we spent months with a broad brush calling every democratic taxpayer and lawmaker socialist and now we re trying to brand a democrat as being anti-religion. all part of the cultural concept that many on the right believe the only way to defeat those they disagree with on the left is challenge us on the cultural issues. many democrats are people of faith and people who have deep spiritual bonds to this country. we don t believe there is a
here is for september 2019, $27 million total receipts for the year $168 million. cash on hand over $59 million. does that worry you, donna? of course it worries me. i m a democrat, american. i want to have a competitive race and you see the money that s being raised. the president when you control the white house, and you have basically no opposition, no viable opposition, the rnc is focused on one thing. preserving the white house and trying to keep the senate. so democrats got to step up, progressives need to step up and we need to not just raise money for our candidates and favorite causes, but we also need to make sure that the dnc is able during this period of time when we re in the primary to be competitive on the ground across the country. let me just remind voters november 5th is election day and states like louisiana, mississippi, kentucky, new
top-level consultants and put the money where it needs to be that s in the first four early states. so there is still time but there needs to be concern about the burn rate. sandra: i have to leave it there. i ask you this every time i have you on, who which of your candidates has the best shot at beating the president? well, if you look at the polls, several of them even in the state of texas. right now i m not concerned who can beat donald trump. i m concerned about electing a democrat that can lead the democratic party and lead the united states of america. this is that moment we need to think bigger than just our political parties. sandra: donna brazile. go tigers my fellow lsu alumni. thank you, sister. sandra: they play mississippi state. bill: another sentencing today as the fallout from the college admissions scandal continue. molly line. who is it now? another development as well
