Ted Cruz is at the World Series, and he sent a very nice tweet from the game, with a picture of himself and his wife, and shout-out to Houston and to Texas in general. A pretty typical, non-offensive, positive sentiment.
W/ Heidi, cheering on @astros Tough loss tonight but we'll still win. After Harvey, a World Series win would be great for TX. #HoustonStrong pic.twitter.com/Ngcxdesx46

Nice, right? Nice picture, nice time. Nice thoughts. People will probably just be nice in return, appreciate the thought, and move on with their lives, right?
Wrong.
If you read the replies to this benign tweet, you'd think Ted is the spawn of Satan. Actually, that might be a good Halloween costume https://t.co/w1JOiaIlEB

I’m only going to post a few here. There are more to see if you wish. With decidedly worse language in some cases.
A World Series win doesn't rebuild homes, you dink.

Isn’t that lovely? Isn’t it great how sports AND disaster recovery bring Americans together?
Unbelievable.
By the way, guess where these lefties got their talking points?

Shut up, Ted! We don’t like you! I’m looking forward to seeing your daddy’s name in the JFK files. You haven’t challenged Trump on it.

Hey. Just saying.
Come on, America. Can we get this thing back on the rails? Please??
