Beto O'Rourke's chances looking better now that Ted Cruz is digging for the Porn vote!

Borowitz's satirical piece in today's online New Yorker about smarmy Ted Cruz upsetting the porno industry was delightful.
The Cruz office statement: "It was a staffing issue and it was inadvertent, it was a mistake, it was not a deliberate action....We're dealing with it internally but it was a mistake, it was not malicious conduct."
Hmmm - leave it to slate.com and writer Molly Olmstead to offer some other possibilities for this "mistake"; I've included a few of her gems:

"Careless Senator: Cruz accidentally liked some porn while watching it. Curious Staffer: A staffer, while searching for “statistics proving the benefits of supply side economics,” accidentally stumbled on account : “LesbianSexSuply.” Like any good researcher, the staffer kept digging. Lonely Senator: Someone sent the porn clip to Cruz as a DM. The senator got so excited to have a friend that he immediately liked it. Forward-Looking Senator: Cruz was just straight-up bookmarking porn for later. Precautionary Senator: Cruz has developed a particular distaste for Mike Pence and wants to make sure the vice president never dines alone with him. (Ruth note: Now that's a good reason!) Discerning Senator: Cruz wants the world to appreciate this particular pornographic video. and finally,  "Shadow" Tweeter: Steve Bannon masterminded this as part of his 14^th-dimensional chess media distraction campaign waged from outside the White House."

As a Texas resident I have no use for Cruz - and I expect El Pasoan Beto O'Rourke to win when he runs against him for senator. Nice thing about El Paso - it feels the same way I do.
And if we could get rid of gerrymandering - wow - we might get a true Texas State vote!
