Look like the loudmouth Texan Senator, Ted Cruz, is getting some push-back from his home state for contributing to the "chaotic, hyper-partisan atmosphere" in Washington. Oh yes, there are regrets!!!!!

Talk about regrets. Sen. Ted Cruz's hometown newspaper in Texas is now voicing its disappointment about endorsing the Republican for U.S. Senate.
The Houston Chronicle pays tribute to Cruz's predecessor, Kay Bailey Hutchison, in an editorial that takes him to task for contributing to the "chaotic, hyper-partisan atmosphere" in Washington. The headline: "Why we miss Kay Bailey Hutchison."
Hutchison decided not to run for re-election last year, after 20 years in the Senate, and was known for her staunch advocacy for all things Texas. The Republican also, as the editorial notes, was known for "reaching across the aisle when necessary."
"When we endorsed Ted Cruz in last November's general election, we did so with many reservations and at least one specific recommendation — that he follow Hutchison's example in his conduct as a senator," the Houston Chronicle editorial says. "Obviously, he has not done so. Cruz has been part of the problem in specific situations where Hutchison would have been part of the solution."
