Unless Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, kicks a puppy, burns the flag, or kneels for the national anthem, it seems more than likely that Rep. Beto O’Rourke will be out of a job after Election Day. The Democrat probably can’t win a U.S. Senate seat. He could win an office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

When polls in the Lone Star State close, O’Rourke becomes the most eligible vice presidential candidate.
