With the Texas primary coming up on March 1, three of the state's major newspapers have now passed on the chance to endorse native Senator Ted Cruz for the GOP nomination -- and that's putting it mildly. As the Hill points out, the state's largest newspaper, the Dallas Morning News, went with "pragmatic" Ohio governor John Kasich on Friday, and both the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News have now opted for Jeb Bush as well. Said the Morning News of Cruz, "As much as we'd like to see a Texan in the White House, we fear that Cruz's brand of politics is more about disruption than governing and threatens to take the Republican Party to a dark place." While the Express-News admitted that Bush was "not the flashiest candidate" in the race, they thoroughly rejected Cruz as an alternative:
The freshman senator has demonstrated a frightening willingness to push the American economy to the brink of disaster to pursue his ideological agenda -- even when he clearly does not have the votes to get his way. The freshman senator's methodical run for the White House is obviously well-planned, but Cruz's self-centered approach has thoroughly alienated even his Republican Senate colleagues. And that is obviously a recipe for a weak, unsuccessful administration. He lacks the temperament to be president.
Cruz's hometown Chronicle went even further, insisting that Cruz is basically terrible at this whole representative-government thing, let alone the fact that everybody pretty much hates him:
During his brief time in office, Ted Cruz has become the most ineffectual, inattentive U.S. senator Texans have sent to Washington since perhaps W. Lee "Pass the Biscuits, Pappy" O'Daniel during the 1940s. Unlike the old flour man from Fort Worth, whip-smart Cruz has been willfully ineffectual.

Oh Noes! Not Texas, not ultra Conservati............oh wait Texas that gave us the the Castro boys? Texas that has liberal conclaves surrounding all it’s universities? Texas, like other states, where islam is pushed on our children in public schools? Funny how one camp will deride and insult another for posting Bolshevik, while they merrily do it themselves, and I mean that for both sides.
Ahh, ok, like James “beam me up Scotty” Traficant, but with a radio show. Rush “tadalump” Limbaugh
Liberal rags endorse the Republican candidate who is most like a RAT. So?
Texas Gov. Wants Dallas to Revoke Sanctuary City Policy

In an anti-establishment election, it is a good thing to be disliked by those in power
and we are getting close to an actual moment when the use of the word antidisestablishmentarianism is possible.
WOW!!!! HOLY MOLY!!! WOW!!!!
Well I guess that's it, some lib newspapers that have always hated Cruz and every other conservative in Texas have endorsed the RINOS........so......let's vote for Trump?
Yeah, no.
Thanks. I missed the Lesbian’s change in policy.
Good one.
Thank you SPRINK.
Because a newspaper/mag headline sez rejects Cruz, no one notices that the DMN also rejected Trump, Carson, and Rubio.
Do scribes have any influence on voters anymore? Talk about living in the last century.
Pray America wakes
So do I.
I LOVE Ted Cruz.
He is without question the most effect senator Texas ever sent to DC.
“You posted this yesterday too.”
You LIE.
No problem the newspaper industry is going bankrupt, few read the papers anymore.
“I think Identity Politics Barbie was put in a timeout also for only using Bible quotes as her responses. I can’t wait to see how often they both grace us with their presences after the election.”
YOU LIAR.
I think hateful goodwithagun is a immature, slandering foolish person who hates Black Female Army Captains and one who hates God’s Holy Word. I can’t wait to see how often he/she graces us with an ongoing nasty presence after the election. GROW UP.
Proverbs 10:18 - “The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever utters slander is a fool.”
Newspapers? I’d guess what’s left of those still walking out to the gutter to pick up their wad of day old news are likely suffering from dementia.
Wow.
Rut Rho. Cruzbot alert. :-)
Lol! Me thinks Identity Politics Barbie doth protest too much. Several of us saw your timeout home screen. Humble alone can attest to your Bible quote issues.
Looks like the only liar and slanderer here is the person pointing the finger.
