Wait, Ted isn't even one of his names? Of all the names in the world he choose to go with Ted? No disrespect against anyone named Ted but there are cooler names out there...

In Texas? Eddie Cruz sounds like a guy who drives an El Camino and has a cousin named Cooter. He'd have been the presidential nominee in '16.

"Did you hear about Eddie and Cooter? They running for the big house! Get in the pickup, we're gonna go vote!"
