Wanna know how scared Ted Cruz is?
“Searching for new wedge issue, Cruz says O’Rourke will ban barbecue” (Austin American-Statesman headline).
That's how scared Ted Cruz is.

Much as I despise Cruz, I assume he meant it as a joke.
Sure, it was a joke at first, this warning that a Beto win would mean everybody in Texas would be forced to eat tofu like Californians, but that doesn’t mean the joke, now repeated a number of times without a wink both in public utterances and tweets, doesn’t have the serious purpose of further planting an image in voters’ minds of O’Rourke as a candidate outside the mainstream of Texas values, whether it’s on guns, border security, socialism, kneeling in protests, or Lone Star food customs. Cruz told a crowd of supporters in Katy: “We are seeing tens of millions of dollars flooding into the state of Texas from liberals all over the country who desperately want to turn the state of Texas blue. They want us to be just like California, right down to tofu and silicon and dyed hair.” Texas tofu manufacturers and anti-meat demonstrators are hitting back, though, pointing out that animals could be spared “a terrifying trip to the slaughterhouse and a violent, painful death” if people turned to tofu, which,they noted, “can be baked, fried, scrambled, marinated or sautéed,” asserting that "Republicans eat tofu, too!" and reassuring Texans that "Tofu is bipartisan!"
Watch out Texas! Here come swimming pools and movie stars :-)
I know. And silicon and dyed hair? Does Cruz think all those busty Dallas blondes were born that way?
