Cruz consistent
If you’re going to hire someone for a position with your company, you check the candidate’s background and history.
Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is the only consistent, proven conservative in the presidential race.
Donald Trump is all talk. His history reeks of Democratic/liberal stances.
He hasn’t changed. He just wants you to think he has.

Sheriff’s race
Our current sheriff has used the Ethan Couch case for photo ops because he’s challenged by the best candidate Tarrant County has ever had, Republican Bill Waybourn.
The current sheriff’s police background was as a patrol and a public information officer. Bill Waybourn has 35 years in law enforcement, 30 as a chief.
He holds undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, is a graduate of the FBI Academy and started the “no refusal” DWI program now used in numerous states.
Bill is endorsed by former Gov. Rick Perry; state Reps. Bill Zedler, Tony Tinderholt and Jonathan Stickland; the mayors of Arlington and Mansfield; and the Arlington, Fort Worth and Tarrant County law enforcement associations.

Baker vs. Barton
Collin Baker is running against U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis, in the 6th Congressional District to expand Second Amendment rights.
That seems impossible.
Anyone including criminals can already buy unlimited quantities of military-style assault-weapons with high-capacity magazines.
I guess that means he’s wanting to arm grade-schoolers and mental patients with machine guns?
