Curious to see how Ted Cruz' antics were playing in Texas, I took a look at the Houston Chronicle this week. The news was not good. In Wednesday's edition, I found Ted's hometown newspaper had published an op-ed piece apologizing for their endorsement of his candidacy in last year's election."Does anyone else miss Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison?...
...One reason we particularly believe that Hutchison would make a difference in these hectic days is that if she had kept her seat, Cruz would not be in the Senate."
Ouch."When we endorsed Ted Cruz in last November's general election, we did so with many reservations and at least one specific recommendation--that he follow Hutchison's example in his conduct as a senator.
Obviously, he has not done so..."
So much for Cruz' claim that he is listening to and standing up for the 'voice of the people'. He's not even answering the message from his hometown."Cruz has been part of the problem in specific situations where Hutchison would have been part of the solution.
We feel certain she would have worked shoulder to shoulder with Sen. Susan Collins, (R-Maine), in crafting a workable solution that likely would have avoided the government shutdown altogether.
But we'll never know."
A recent Washington Post/ABC poll found that 74% of voters disapprove of the Republican Party while an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found that just 14% of Americans approve of Cruz. Now it looks like even Mr. Cruz's hometown can't find much good to say about him.
My heart is not broken.
