Cruz has been sort of silent lately. I think he should be in front of every camera now the way he was when he, his dad, and DeMint were touring the country and pushing for this shutdown. That he’s not indicates to me that he’s a bomb-throwing coward who knows how to incite others for personal gain but has no idea about how to deal with the crises he creates.

I wonder at the sanity of the tea partiers and other republicans who thought he was up to the challenge of being POTUS #45. I can see him now. He’d stir sh*t up around the world, and when the sh*t hit the fan, he’d be MIA, hiding out in the secret complex under the WH, sucking his thumb and hoping the crises would resolve themselves. I am glad this colossal ass’s self-centeredness, cowardice, and inability to govern was exposed by the shutdown.
