Hysterical.
The more people come out and vote, the more Republicans lose. The more people talk about the issues, the more Republicans lose.
So instead of talking about Ted Cruz challenger Beto O’Rourke‘s policies, the Texas GOP went digging for skeletons in his closet.

The result? A series of ads reminding voters that, before he was running for Senate, Beto was…
*clutches pearls*
…the type of guy Avril Lavigne could have taken home to mother?
So Beto has been ducking debates with Senator Ted Cruz. We can't imagine why, but we do have a few ideas… pic.twitter.com/3n2HtwY9pQ

Maybe Beto can’t debate Ted Cruz because he already had plans… pic.twitter.com/LdqKTh3yK4

There's always the chance that Robert “Beto” O’Rourke won’t debate Senator Cruz because he got into a hazy situation… pic.twitter.com/4nmd42AEkl

Yep.
They “uncovered” the common knowledge that young Beto was in a punk band and rode a skateboard.
Meanwhile, the world has already seen young Ted Cruz…
LOLz!
We weren’t the only ones who found the strategy hilariously misguided. See some of the best reactions (below):
Not sure posting photos of Beto O'Rourke looking super hot in the '90s is the best strategy, but I'm gonna assume the Texas GOP know what they're doing.

Texas GOP trying to use the fact that Beto O'Rourke played bass in a band in college against him. Last I checked, Texas was still a guitar-friendly state. https://t.co/eetBzh20LH

I just donated AGAIN to @BetoORourke’s campaign.
This time in honor of the fact he used to be a (totally ????hot????) punk rocker.
You can donate too! https://t.co/iDSRrsmwLn
Thank you, @TexasGOP, for this awesome visual ???? https://t.co/f2m94UcVNi

Look, no one wants to be judged by the way they were in high school and college. We should all be allowed to get past it.
But the GOP made this bed, and now it’s up to them to lie in it.
Wait, maybe that’s why they did it?! LOLz!
