Corpus Christi Caller-Times:

The likable El Paso congressman has run a positive campaign about bipartisan solutions, affordable health care and commonsense immigration reform. Incumbent Republican Ted Cruz is the Senate's least-liked member. That can't be in Texas' best interest. We'll explain this decision further in coming days.
Incumbent Ken Paxton's felony indictment for not disclosing his agent status in a shady investment scheme should be an automatic disqualification for any public office, but especially this one, the state's top legal authority. Our position on his lack of fitness doesn't deny Paxton his due process. The trial he keeps delaying is where he is entitled to a presumption of innocence -- not in the office of Texas attorney general. Not in the voting booth.

The Longview News-Journal added their endorsement

We want a senator who will work and fight for our state and are convinced Beto O'Rourke of El Paso will do that.

O'Rourke proposes a different kind of leadership, one that doesn't run away from those across the aisle but genuinely tries to work with them to solve problems.

His experiences outpace Cruz at this stage of their public careers. It is O'Rourke who has run a business, served on local government councils and consistently conducted town hall meetings with his constituents.

While Cruz has made much of O'Rourke's liberalism, the fact is his ideas are not at all out of the mainstream. He wants to find a path to affordable health care for all, he wants to save the Dreamers and he wants constitutional rights to be available to all Americans.

These ideas are not radical and neither is O'Rourke. He deserves your vote.

[At long last, some fruits of the Battle of the Editorial Pages, as I have frequently described my own strategic focus on so many political battles and races: these endorsements have started coming in, and starting with a colossal bang, the largest paper in the largest city, the key to victory for Democrats, especially Beto O'Rourke and Attorney General candidate, Justin Nelson.

Let's hope many more come in, and as they do, I will be posting and sharing them here at OpEdNews. One of the keys to this strategy is that the person reading the letters to the editor is usually involved in the ultimate endorsement, which in this case is coming very early in the endorsement timetable. It takes courage for them to do this and many wait and wait till they see who else said what. The fact that the Editorial Board would do this so early on tells you that they are responsible and resolute, and, like a jury that doesn't need to deliberate ad nauseum, brings back their verdict very quickly.

This endorsement will also coalesce and compound Beto's power and will build on it, my point right from the beginning, going back to my first articles on this back on January 1, 2018, something like throwing a rock in a big pool and then waiting and watching for the ripples to hit the edge. I know from studying the editorial page endorsements for Obama in 2008 precisely how this works, and I also recall in January of 2016 how my reading a 4 sentence letter to the editor in the Santa Fe New Mexican about how - of the Santa Fe delegates to the state convention were supporting Bernie Sanders.

There will be more editorial board endorsements coming soon, and they will be like a might tide that will sweep us to victory in November, provided nefarious and evil thieves of votes don't tear into voting machines all over Texas and in the states with such fierce battles going on now.

With any good luck and with any good karma, this will spill over into the Attorney General's race, and replace a very crooked Ken Paxton, with his 3 federal indictments for Securities Fraud and related offenses, with a very bright patent lawyer from Austin, Justin Nelson, who served as a clerk for Sandra Day O'Connor.]
