Cruz goes after Beto, makes him look awesome instead.

Keep in mind that Cruz tweeted this as an attack against Beto. Not only didn't I see anything wrong with what he said in that clip, I wanted to stand up and cheer. Seriously, I got goosebumps watching this.

The ad isn't a mistake.

He's not trying to win over new voters. He's encouraging his base to come out and vote.

Regardless of whether or not those people have a little marijuana stashed somewhere in their home. And we can't have that. That's downright un-American.

it's OK that a police person, after a hard shift, comes home to the wrong apartment, sees somebody in the dark, and their first reaction is to pull their service weapon and kill the black guy.

After all, police work is really really hard.

errr...wait... I've got it...a drug dealer!

Yeah, that's the ticket. A dangerous drug dealer. So everything evens out.
