For some reason, the Left is still trying to make Beto O’Rourke happen.
Exactly. @BetoORourke is going to win. Send him some support people. We can do this. https://t.co/F5K2EXiel7

And if they want to torpedo their chances in November, we certainly won’t in their way.
Here’s the latest indication that they’re just gluttons for punishment:
Why So Many People Are Betting on Beto O’Rourke, a Kennedyesque longshot in a roiling red state who’s trying to unseat Ted Cruz. My latest for @TandCmag https://t.co/wkcvQD7jNm pic.twitter.com/YBkQSWw3q0

He's testing whether a nice guy approach works in a smashmouth political climate. Whether gun control can resonate in a heavily armed state. Whether "build-the-wall” backfires along the border. Can a guy who looks and talks like a Kennedy win in Texas? https://t.co/wkcvQD7jNm pic.twitter.com/JL1YllW7BS

Again with the Kennedy crap?
The sooner "Kennedyesque" dies out as a compliment, the better https://t.co/Nu6siNVexQ

Kennedyesque is a compliment? #WhoKnew

Shouldn't surprise anyone the magazine that uninvited Monica Lewinsky from their event because Bill Clinton was attending would think "Kennedyesque" is a compliment. https://t.co/UYen251Tpa pic.twitter.com/MD7MtZMD4w

Comparing Beto O’Rourke to a Kennedy will likely not have the effect people like Matt Viser hope it will.
Kennedyesque? Did he leave a woman to drown in a pond?

Kennedyesque? Does that mean he will ask secret service to bring him women for sex or he will leave a woman in a car to drown?

When will Dems realize that this stuff doesn’t help them?
Holy crap, I figured the Kennedyesque thing was just a passing observation, but the entire purpose of the article is to portray O'Rourke as an honorary Kennedy.

The Democrats have really got their work cut out for them.

All these articles are written the same way:
"It's a [hot/warm] day when [Progressive Bae] comes to [Rally With People Who Like Him]. There are lots of people who like him at this rally, and therefore he has momentum.
"I like him, I'm voting for him!" Patty O'Houlian, 67, says.

"I feel like we can do this," [candidate] says, while doing something folksy like eating barbecue or not wearing a tie.
He's not wrong to think that, because I saw he has energy and momentum with my reporter eyeballs.

That Blue Wave is looking more like a stagnant mud puddle.
A "Kennedyesque" Democrat bankrolled by Hollywood and NY liberals.
Just what Texas needs. #Satire
