The Houston Chronicle, the largest daily paper in Houston, has endorsed Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) for U.S. Senate over Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), despite going with Cruz in 2012.
“The West Texas congressman’s command of issues that matter to this state, his unaffected eloquence and his eagerness to reach out to all Texans make him one of the most impressive candidates this editorial board has encountered in many years,” the board wrote of O’Rourke.

Wow, that was pretty bad review of the work (or lack there of) that Cruz has been doing as Senator.
I’ve heard even the Pecos Psychrolutes marcidus Admiration Society is endorsing Beto.
The previous endorsement of Cruz was along the lines of “we know Cruz is a partisan flame-throwing asshole, but we expect he’ll be more a centrist like Kay Bailey Hutchison once he gets into the Senate”… which didn’t age well as we all know.
Of course, “the failing Houston Chronicle” is just a “liberal rag” (even though it’s not).
Bit off topic…
I am just back from voting in the 6th GA district, the well off suburbs north of Atlanta, and for the first time in the 10 years I have been living here, there were lines for early voting, and most worryingly for the racist and nativist republicans, there was a tons of melanin and people taking in languages other than English, several ladies with their hair covered too.
IN the case of Georgia, it probably won’t make much difference because they have no shortage of wingnuts in the exurbs and rednecks in the rural areas to counter the votes of the decent and educated people, besides SOB Kemp gets to count the votes, and he already stole the 6th special election last year. But if this crowd of voters repeats across the country, Trump and his cabinets of thieves are in deep kimchi.
The Cuban-Canadian immigrant, coupled with the Atlantic interview of his wife who really does not share ‘Texas values’ and really, really does not want to be in Texas… why don’t we all make Cruz’s family, and Texans happier and vote him out?
