Leftists are desperate to make Beto O'Rourke happen. He's Ted Cruz's opponent in Texas. Cruz-haters are particularly excited about this now viral video, where O'Rourke discusses NFLKneelGateGhaziPalooza. Which I can't believe we're still talking about (see Veteran Criticizes Local Politicians for Kneeling During Anthem and Report: NFL to Bribe Kneeling Players with $89 Million). But you comment on the news you have. Not necessarily the news you need.

O'Rourke can't think of anything more patriotic than kneeling for the National Anthem? Here, let Cruz help you with that:

It was an interesting contrast because last week I was touring military bases. So I was at military bases and at the end of the day, they would play [inaudible] over the loud speaker system. And every person on the base. Every soldier, sailor, airman, marine. Every civilian. You stopped what you were doing. We were in a van, we pulled over on the side of the road. You get up and you stand at attention listening. Every single soul on the base. And the contrast there of every other person there having that respect... when Beto O'Rourke says he can't think of anything more American, I have to admit that I can.

The polls are closer than anyone would expect. A recent NBC News poll only has Cruz up by four points. But while the left focuses all their attention and donations on O'Rourke -- which I encourage them to keep doing -- Texas is still Texas. If you're making your campaign about how kneeling for the National Anthem is simply the cat's pajamas, I wish you well on your future endeavors. Which is most likely as an MSNBC analyst.

Or maybe those are famous last words. What do you think is going to happen?
