In a surprise move to many constituents, Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) announced on social media that he will not seek re-election. The largest Republican delegation in Congress, Texas, is facing some serious change. This announcement was the third in a week from Texas.

I'll bet he got word that the people of his district will no longer support him.

(I predicted that he would find himself in very hot water for his squishy, whining complaints.  He is not the sort of guy that Southeast Texans as a whole would like.)

Texas seems to be losing several squishes. I hope there are better replacements for them.
