The Crazies Rally Around Their Own, Ted Cruz
You have to wonder at Republican reactions to Ted Cruz’s pseudo-filibuster prank this past week. We saw Bryan Fischer calling him a modern-day prophet Elijah, Karl Rove told Greta Van Susteren that it was “an extraordinary performance,” and Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel wrote a piece on World Net Daily that “Liberty Counsel’s got your flank” and revealed his belief that “Mr. Cruz emasculated, delightfully, Obama’s political yes-bots on both sides of the aisle.”
Rove thought Cruz “was cogent, he was thoughtful, he was funny, he was engaging, he was personal, he was personable.”
I think Cruz is barely cogent at the best of times but during his phony filibuster he displayed just how clueless he is by failing to understand a children’s book.
And we want this guy to have the nuclear football?
Yes, some Republicans are more than fed up with Cruz and his antics. But it is almost as if the worse Cruz gets the more other Republicans portray him as the second coming. But I guess even crazy folks need a hero. Matt Barber calls that first group RINOs. They can’t really be Republicans, after all, if they don’t share Cruz’s delusions.
