Cruz Control

In 2012, The Houston Chronicle endorsed Ted Cruz for the U.S. Senate. This time around, they're recommending Texans cast their ballots for his opponent, Beto O'Rourke. Their endorsement editorial is kind of amazing because I don't think Ted Cruz's worst enemy could write a more negative, damning condemnation of the man.

I have no idea how that race is going to turn out. The polls seem to be all over the place and, as I mentioned earlier, filled with all sorts of caveats as to why they might be way off. I do get the impression though that that's one seat that most Republicans in the Senate wouldn't mind losing to the Democrat.
