    Cohen was Sean Hannity's creepy porn lawyer. Did they mention that?

    Ted Cruz is doing an excellent job as Beto O'Rourke's campaign manager.

    Was in a rock band? Yep, and no problem with that.
    Talking about young unarmed black men being killed unlawfully? Yep, and that is a terrible injustice.
    "Nothing more American than to stand up, or take a knee..." Yep, an attack ad from Ted Cruz, attacking Beto O'Rourke standing up (metaphorically) for the First Amendment. Ted Cruz attacking the First Amendment.

    Keep up the good work, Ted Cruz!
    [something I have never stated before and will never say again]

    I posted this before I took your advice and looked at Comments.

    Yep, I am not alone in my assessment!

    If all I knew about Beta O’Rourke came from the Ted Cruz campaign, I’d know that he’s a rock star skateboarder who stands up for minorities and believes in the right to protest injustice.

    Seventh generation Native Texan http://here.My sheriff grandaddy never walked into someone's home and just shot them for no reason. What is there to respect about that? You should have stayed in Canada.

    Canadian here: we don’t want him back, thanks. But it must be his secret nice Canadian side that compels him to promote #BetoForTexas like this. What an inspiring video!

    Extrajudicial murder of unarmed minorities may not be cool where you live but, as always, it's not entirely clear how it plays in Texas.

    I'm not sure why I could not embed this link. It's a new ad from a political action committee called Fire Ted Cruz slams the senator and former Republican presidential candidate for his re-election campaign slogan, “Tough as Texas.”

    Your link is to a lengthy discussion on global warming, but I know the ad you are talking about. I saw it on the Morning Joe this morning. It is a good ad. Unfortunately "Beto, tough as Texas" doesn't work.

    Now that you got the right video... do you think that is effective?

    It paints Rafael as a servile lackey with no spine and no balls. That's gotta sting.

    I think he makes a good point, but no, I don't think it is effective. People that will vote for Cruz won't vote for him because they think he's Trump's kicking bag or not. They will vote for him because libs are bad for America

    I meant more like... "Beto is Texas Badass". The commercial is funny, but I don't think it moves the needle. At least not in the way O'Rourke wants the needle moved.
