Beto O'Rourke will deliver speech at the exact same time Trump's rally starts - one mile away.

Beto O'Rourke Plans Counter-Trump Rally, Decrying 'Fear And Paranoia'

The former Senate candidate will hold a march to oppose Trump's “lies about the dangers that immigrants pose."

El Paso is Beto's hometown. This is a brilliant move on his part. He will probably draw a bigger crowd and his speech wil be a glaring contrast to Trump's. I'm hoping for split screen coverage.

2. And seeing the Trump Baby Blimp too.....

Let us hope there are no clashes and violence.

Knowing that Beto drew more people will anger Trump.

6. El Paso coliseum for Trump rally

Capacity only 6,500. Hope Beto doubles that.

7. The two locations are much closer than that.

It's a 10 minute walk.

I do have concerns that the president's security team will attempt to bully the people participating in the March for Truth.

9. They better have a plan for RW ringers and provocateurs.

You know the Breitbarts, Proud Boys and O’Keefes will be out in force instigating violence, flag burning, and faux criminal activity. Quite possibly undercover ICE agents will be sprinkled throughout the crowd making random arrests as well.
Beto’s People need to plan for that and be ready with a quick social media pushback as well.

14. Yes, unfortunately

This is a really prime opportunity to knock Beto down several rungs via agent provocatuer bad actors.

I hope O'rourke is savvy enough to preempt that, but I don't see how it's 100% possible.

Look out for masked "Antifas" rioters destroying property that will be linked to Beto by Trump.
