Red can hardly wait to see all the great things that Rafael “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz (TP- Tex.) is going to do for our fair state over the next six years.  When Red considers all of LT’s fantastic legislative achievements he is reminded of – well, Red’s not really sure what he is reminded of – maybe a freshly erased chalkboard, a losing lottery ticket, a fallow field, an empty pistol, erectile disfunction, the Rice Owls football team . . .

Anyhow, Beto O’Rourke gave it a good shot and maybe Texas just isn’t ready for someone who actually wants to represent Texas interests in Congress.  Texans apparently want someone who is there for the greater glorification of their own ego and naked ambition.  Someone who is willing to sell their soul to the devil on the cheap.  Someone who kowtows to the man who insulted their wife and father.  Someone proven to be a spineless weasel when his political life was on the line. Someone who only spoke the truth once when he called Trump a “pathological liar” and “utterly amoral.”  Someone who is so disliked in the Senate that he cannot form a coalition to get anything passed.  Well friends, that is exactly what you got in Lyin’ Ted.  At least it seems that the servile Canadian immigrant will not challenge the Alpha Dog Trump in 2020.  He cannot bite the hand that feeds.  So LT will set his sights on 2024 but by then will anyone be paying attention?
