Ex-spokesman says for Texas, Ted Cruz is a moderate

Now that Rep. Beto O'Rourke has won the Texas Senate primary, and is hoping to unseat Ted Cruz, people are going to start digging deeper into his past-and his present.

CNN's Chris Cuomo confronted Cruz about the snarky lyrics on Tuesday night.

With a quick photo response that leaned more cute than cutting, Mr. O'Rourke may be able to defuse any lasting effect of Mr. Cruz's approach. So what? "Ted" Cruz's real name is Rafael.

"If you're gonna run in Texas, you can't be a liberal, man. 'Cause liberal thought is not the spirit of a Lone Star man", the song begins.

"You may not have heard of Beto O'Rourke, but no candidate gets voters more excited than 'Not Ted Cruz, '" Colbert said during his opening monologue. He went the other way and has a more ethnic version of his name-why go after him? He said they were just having fun. "You're both doing the same thing".

"We can get into name-calling and talk about why the other person is such an terrible guy, or we can focus on the big things we want to do for the future of our country, for the generations that will succeed us", he said, later adding, "We can focus on the small, mean, petty stuff, or we can be big, bold, courageous, and confident". But Cruz still has more money overall, with a campaign war chest worth $7.3 million compared to O'Rourke's $4.6 million. Texas has not elected a Democrat statewide since 1994.

But O'Rourke has outraised Cruz in recent months and Democratic turnout for Tuesday's primaries was the highest its been since 2002.
