Ted Cruz: “The Democrats are the party of Lisa Simpson. And Republicans are happily the party of Homer and Bart and Maggie and Marge.” https://t.co/7ygJierIC1

Canonically Homer’s stupidity owes to a crayon he shoved up his nose into his brain, then after it got removed & he became smarter he decided to re-stick it back in permanently because he’d rather be dumb & happy than make smart decisions like Lisa.

So yeah, um, perfect analogy. https://t.co/Y5z7HMwJ5m
