Watch Beto O'Rourke tackle NFL kneeling issue head on (VIDEO)

Beto O'Rourke, the Texas Congressman, running against Ted Cruz for Texas U.S. Senate may be the real deal not only as a politician but as a change agent. His skill in answering to whether the NFL players are disrespecting the flag or the military showed his political acumen. The sentiment in his response is one few would ever come to organically. And that makes him a possible change agent if he chooses.

(No offense to Texas, I know there are millions of good Democrats living there!) Lord knows we don't have any current or prospective senators worth voting for here in Georgia.

He comes across as very sincere, very intelligent and very articulate. Best explanation of kneeling during the anthem I have heard.
