So Ted Cruz looks dumb shading @BetoORourke. I admit it makes me laugh that he thinks these things should turn voters off, but you know, this is not just the desperation of a say anything man (Trump Rally is really the sign) it's the kind of campaign that works with GOP base. 1/
Remember, this is a base that does not care about corruption & cupidity so long as you appoint the right judgesl. They don't care about child molesting if you can ban abortion. They care about social issues that reinforce homophobic white supremacist patriarchy 2/
So Ted is not bothering with policy issues because they don't care about policy issues. Cruz is showing countercultural Beto because they fear challenges to their cultural hegemony. It's silly, but it's not stupid. #BetoForTexas
