Cruz also forgot that lots of voters dye their hair.

Cruz warned that his opponent Beto O’Rourke would turn the Lone Star State into a version of California, with “tofu, silicon and dyed hair. Not on our watch."

Remember when Cruz shot himself in the foot in the presidential primaries by criticizing Trump's "New York values"? That didn't go over too well with New Yorkers. Not only is Cruz a creepy and slimy guy he's a f***ing moron.

There's your first problem. Ted Cruz's state is already a powerful economic engine minus a lot of the CA insanity.

Um, the silicone he's referring to is not the chip.

Ted Cruz didn't refer to silicone. Ted Cruz said silicon. Play the video and listen to Cruz. You heard of silicon valley, right? That's silicon, for the chip.

Maybe Cruz is so dumb that he doesn't realize that silicon is related to high tech and silicon chips. That's a major Foot-in-Mouth issue right there. He attempted to denigrate silicone boob jobs but instead he used the wrong word - silicon - and he denigrated the high tech industry instead. And this guy is supposed to write laws? What an idiot.

He appeals to his base; the same people who Trump appeals to. The people who think "real Americans" are white, heterosexual, Christian, and conservative and that everyone else should be second class citizens.
