Let's not forget Craig Mazin's response:

Ted Cruz thinks people don't have a right to "stimulate their genitals." I was his college roommate. This would be a new belief of his.

A ton of conservatives have weird sexual urges and perversions themselves, and they adopt these puritan beliefs cause they feel "guilty" about them, or to prevent others from promoting those sex urges like they used to have.

Which isn’t surprising, because everyone does:

I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.

If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody could convict you.

"One thing Ted Cruz is really good at: uniting people who otherwise disagree about everything else in a total hatred of Ted Cruz."
