Beto O’Rourke gets a big and surprising endorsement from the Houston Chronicle. The newspaper endorsed Ted Cruz in 2012, but now says:

“Imagine how refreshing it would be to have a U.S. senator who not only knows the issues but respects the opposition, who takes firm positions but reaches out to those who disagree, who expects to make government work for Texas and the nation. Beto O’Rourke, we believe, is that senator.”
