Beto O'Rourke isn't 'interested' that Obama isn't endorsing him

O'Rourke breathing through his mouth

Democratic Texas Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke implied on Thursday that the fact Obama didn't endorse him was no big deal. My BS meter pegged to the red line and then exploded.

The former socialist president revealed his second round of more than 200 midterm endorsements, and his NCAA picks for this season. O'Rourke isn't on the list for congressional picks, nor for basketball picks. O'Rourke is not among the 9 new picks, 11 in total for Texas, and apparently will not be among any in the future, in spite of his far-left leanings that almost mirror Obama's.

O'Rourke is a third-term congressman in Texas' 16th Congressional District. He has one DUI and allegedly ran from the police some years ago, and many on the left believe this perfectly qualifies him for the U.S. Senate.

"I don't think we're interested [in an endorsement]," O'Rourke said at a town hall. "I am so grateful for him for his service, he's going to go down as one of the greatest presidents. And yet, this [election] is on Texas."

What he was trying to say was, "I wish like hell he endorsed me, but being that he didn't, I refuse to say how I really feel about him. I think I'll go have a few beers."

In a recent Quinnipiac University poll Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) leads O'Rourke by 9 points; 54 percent to 45 percent.

Hopefully, the lead will increase and hold through the election.
