That is not to say that Cruz doesn’t arrive to this debate with a host of policy positions that we are deeply devoted to. On economic policy, for example, we supported the president’s tax cuts that Cruz voted for. And we stand with Cruz in looking to remove federal regulations that stifle job creation. Removing barriers to American employment and prosperity is itself an act of compassion.
We were also moved by Cruz when he told us about meeting with the students from Santa Fe High School after the shooting there. [...] He also supports political dissidents who push for human freedom abroad, support that we share as we look for ways to ground American foreign policy in a set of guiding principles that will rally others to our cause.

O’Rourke is no conservative Democrat. His positions on taxes, immigration, the judiciary, federal regulations and health care are further to the left than many statewide voters would like. But he is shattering expectations in a state where Democrats haven’t won a statewide race in decades. The dollars he has raised and the number of supporters he has garnered are evidence of an embedded hunger in this state and country for a campaign that’s based on unifying communities.
In the divisive times in which we live, we believe that tone and leadership are the top issues with which to judge these candidates' tenures in office. So we’re placing a bet on Beto.

Major conservative papers in major conservative Texas cities endorsing a progressive liberal. Pretty wild.
