Growing number of Texas Dems want Kendall Scudder gone — eventually

I laughed, and cringed a bit as well, when the Texas Democratic Party executive committee elected ConservaDem Kendall Scudder as party chairman a year ago.

After that, I mocked the Texas Observer for uncritically fellating him,  an issue made worse by editor-in-chief Gus Bova personally doing the fellatio.

I laughed more, while doing the critical thinking Bova didn't, when Kendall pissed off a fair amount of TDP leadership and rank and file with his mockable plans to move the party headquarters out of Austin. I'll add now that this smacks of something like Trump's plans for Interior. 

Now? Per the Trib, we're at the point of the header. Three dozen state Dems want him to not run for re-election.  

The letter, signed by a substantial contingent of party insiders, reflects a persistent level of discontent among Texas Democrats after changes made by Scudder, including decentralizing the party’s base from Austin and overhauling staff positions, threw the party into a state of upheaval last fall.

That said, party insiders, such as Executive Director Terri Burk and finance head Vlator Smith, have pushed back hard. And, per the dissidents, even if he didn't run again, you're stuck with him for the almost three years remaining on his current term. Have fun.

Also have to love Kuff taking a full pass on this.
