We had a thread for the Palin lady and The Don.

Time to start one for Cruz.

The guy that nearly everyone on both sides of the aisle agree is the worst man known in politics.

Just a terrible guy, a creepy scary guy. Wrote on my facebook that Cruz looks like the guy who goes to a fast food joint and asks for a free water cup but then goes to the fountain machine and gets soda instead.

But at a middle school cafeteria here, a man, Mike Valde, presented him with a tragic tale. His brother-in-law Mark was a barber — “a small-business man,” he said. He had never had a paid vacation day. He received health insurance at last because of the Affordable Care Act. He began to feel sick and went to a doctor.

“He had never been to a doctor for years,” Mr. Valde, 63, of Coralville, Iowa, said. “Multiple tumors behind his heart, his liver, his pancreas. And they said, ‘We’re sorry, sir, there’s nothing we can do for you.’ ”

The room was silent.

“Mark never had health care until Obama care,” Mr. Valde continued. “What are you going to replace it with?”

Mr. Cruz expressed condolences and pivoted quickly to a well-worn answer assailing the health care law.

Mr. Cruz said “millions of Americans” had lost their jobs and their doctors as a result of the law, and that many had “seen their premiums skyrocket.”

These are radio ads run a Cruz superPAC, Keep the Promise.

A lot of them are fun, but do yourself a favor and listen to the one called "Single Mom Second Amendment ad (60 sec)." It's the creepiness of Ted Cruz, distilled.

His super-PACs are basically bankrolled by four guys . . . which is scary, seeing as four successful, presumably rational human beings think that Ted Cruz is the answer to what ails us.
 
I would vote Ted Cruz most likely to be a super villain out of any of the candidates. Really losing faith on this democracy thing.
 
If I was running for office and someone publically insulted my family like Trump did to Cruz I'd be in jail for beating his ass. My concession speech would have been a youtube video of me curbstomping him.
 
I like Cruz, but he definitely didn't play his hand well on the Trump thing. Would love to see him on the Supreme Court one day.

That will be a terribly sad day for the Supreme Court. That guy belongs on a Fox News/Glenn Beck Blaze show and that's about it. The only more slimy guy I can think of is John Edwards. I'm not sure even Cruz could cheat on his wife if she had cancer.

If he thinks he still has a future on the national stage, he had to do this. His voting bloc has lined up behind Trump with a lot of enthusiasm. Curious to see if Ted makes any appearances with Trump on the campaign trail.
 
But I'm guessing Cruz will be Trump's nominee to the Court if Trump is elected. That has to be the guy's play here. Jesus, if I was Cruz's wife, I'd be ashamed of him. You simply cannot support a guy who trashed your family like that if you are worth a single damn. There has to be something to gain politically from this.

Didn't Newton do that once upon a time?

That may be what is on Cruz' mind, but I don't think Trump has made any specific promises in that direction. I don't think Trump is to be trusted at all by anyone if he ascends to the Presidency. He is a blank slate who could turn on a dime.
