The gist of this thread so far is how among the many reasons why Cruz is such a groveling, myopically opportunistic, power hungry, self-centered, ideologically damaged fanatic and favorite son of the fringe whackjob loonies that adore him for who he is, no one, not even the folks from his own party is defending his actions.
But rather in true fashion, we have some folks retaliating with diversive verbiage initiated by the cerebral conflict between logically fleeing from a train wreck in progress, watching the train wreck occur with the chance of getting injured from flying insults, fighting the urge to satisfy ones sense of morbid curiosity and all this while simultaneously dealing with the fight or flee reflex.
So in that light, at least we can all agree that no one likes Ted Cruz, and we all know what a sleaze ball he is, taking into account how he consistently uses lies, manipulates the hatred emotion like Jimmy Hendrix made passionate love to his guitar and plays pander-ball of the likes that we will probably never see again in our lifetimes.
