Ted Cruz Presidential campaign discussion thread

Boehner also called Cruz “a miserable son of a bitch”, which is *really *hard to spin positively.

I always knew I liked Boehner.

I think this is why Paul Ryan chose not to run.

Here’s the full quote. Ouch!!

Except isn’t Lucifer supposed to be charming?

If Cruz somehow manages to get the nomination, I’m going to to go into business making bumper stickers.

The Daily Show a few weeks back had an amazing guest spot with Lindsey Graham where you watch him endorse Ted Cruz through unabashed gritted teeth. It’s some of the most weirdly compelling TV I’ve seen in a long time.

And bring light?

But in need of some restraint, IIRC, lest he lay your soul to waste…

If I were on Hilary’s staff, I’d be praying for a miracle to allow Cruz to win the nomination…just think of the commercials they could put together slamming Cruz hard–AND ALL FROM MEMBERS OF HIS OWN PARTY. Oh, it would be wonderful…

Don’t worry, they have as much, if not more, to play from Republicans slamming Trump. Including his new BFF Christie.

No doubt about that, Procrustus; but the sheer venom and nastiness directed at Cruz is (possibly) unprecedented (Perhaps Andrew Johnson and Radical Republicans, but he was already President).

With Trump it was always more of a disbelieving “I can’t believe that SOB is winning with that made-up sh**”. With Cruz it is intensely personal.

IMHO as always. YMMV.

“Rather blunt” is journalist-speak for “holy shit I can’t believe he just said that.”

That’s why Rep. Peter King felt that Boehner was being very unfair . . . to Lucifer.

Satanists are expressing their outrage that Cruz is being compared to Lucifer.

Huh. I followed that campaign very closely, and don’t remember that at all. But I see it mentioned here: Brown blew his best chance for president

Except Johnson was never a Republican. He was a Democrat who ran with Lincoln on a National Union ticket.

I heard that Satan sent Cruz a cease-and-desist letter, citing inappropriate use of his name and likeness.

Well, shit, sometimes my son pisses me off, I don’t sic a bunch of lawyers on him.

Reports that Pence is about to endorse Cruz which would be big news and could make the difference on Tuesday. I think the new few days will be the critical point of the whole primary race.

Wouldn’t that be the other way around?
