A "taco" in the Rio Grande Valley, eh?

Texas State Rep. Aaron Peña, taco -- or whatever other Hispanic variant on "Oreo" you prefer.

With Peña jumping ship to the GOP, Republicans will have a 100-50 "supermajority" in the Texas House.

That said, blaming "trial lawyers" for Texas Democrats' problems? Sounds like he bought the GOP playbook well before the party switch.

He's got other nuttery, like saying it's Dems fault for chasing "swing voters" (again, GOP playbook) and "ignoring South Texas" (simply not true - did you forget your fellow taco from the Valley who was the Dems' 2002 gubernatorial candidate?). Anyway, the whole interview is in that vein.
