Not right that Senator Cruz and his wife Heidi were surrounded and forced to leave a restaurant last night because of protesters. The Cruz family should be treated with respect.

Beto O'Rourke is in a toss-up race with Ted Cruz in Texas. Who'd a thunk it. That is an example of why. "Not right." Opponent Cruz "unlikeable"; "Lucifer Incarnate;"

But it was just "not right" that Cruz and wife be abused in a restaurant.

That was not political calculation; that's just who Beto O'Rourke is: a genuinely decent, empathetic person, even to the unlikeable and the least worthy of empathy.

Beto O'Rourke is a star, a natural. He has a golden touch. That is why Beto O'Rourke is playing well in Texas.
