Time will tell but the biggest problem we have faced each session is the House not getting to work early.Burrows has earned the BurrowCrat moniker by losing his own party's vote for speaker and yet winning with a large number of Democrats. Burrows won the gavel with the support of only 36 Republicans and 49 Democrats making him illegitimate as a "Republican" speaker.

I already decided almost a year ago that I would not again give my vote to Cruz (I wrote about that here), but right up until the day before early voting started, I was still conflicted about how I would handle my vote if I was not going to vote for Cruz.  Should I vote for O'Rourke?  Should I write in a candidate or should I leave it blank and not vote for that race at all? And what about the other races?  Greg Abbott is the Number One enemy of public education in Texas and has made it his mission for the past couple of years to do all he can to dismantle it, turning it over to private companies and following the path of failure down which Devos led Michigan schools.  My first thought was to write in Joe Straus as a protest against the brownshirt-like[1] actions  of[2] Republicans following[3] Abbott's lead who censured Straus on his way out.  (This happened to Sam Houston as well.)
