He probably got spooked by his close re-election against Beto.

So now he wants to cultivate a more moderate image.

“He probably got spooked by his close re-election against Beto.”

Hopefully, Texas will have a Conservative Alternative to Scruze in six years. But my worry is that by that time, Texas will have turned blue and actually elect a Beto clone.

That's it exactly. Whether that strategy will work for him or not remains to be seen. It's kinda phony, but voters often don't mind phonies (e.g., Clinton, Obama et al.).

He ungratefully forgets he won reelection solely because President Trump dragged his sorry a55 over the finish line. I suspect this Cuban-Canadian still thinks he can run again for president. He’s still a conniving liar, quietly supporting amnesty, welcoming borders (bet he’d again be down there with teddy bears and soccer balls if he thought it’d improve his image and support), and increased H1B with letting them stay as well. Natural born citizens are not among his higher priorities.
