Big dollar checks flutter from liberal fingers for Beto O'Rourke

No Senate candidate has ever enjoyed more glowing media profiles than has Beto O’Rourke. Even President Barack Obama circa 2004 would have been embarrassed by the saccharine, formulaic paeans.

Profiles from the New York Times, Politico, Texas Monthly, Time, and others, all hitting the same notes of O’Rourke’s Kennedyesque looks, of his honest sweat in the Texas sun, and of his pickup truck (but not his drunk driving), have dovetailed nicely with viral videos intended to turn the boy wonder into a national phenomenon. Piles of money so obscenely big that they would have made even Obama blush have, as a consequence, fallen into Beto’s lap.
