Ted Cruz's Attempt At Slamming Joe Biden Backfires Spectacularly

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Critics of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) say he finally ― and quite accidentally ― had a good idea.

On Tuesday night, Cruz attempted to slam Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

“If these guys win, we’re gonna wake up in January with Elizabeth Warren as treasury secretary,” Cruz said on Fox News, referring to the Democratic senator from Massachusetts:

But many Twitter users didn’t see that as the threat Cruz intended, given her support of consumer protections and regulations on big banks. Warren is also the sixth most popular Democrat in the nation, according to YouGov, and is even more popular within the party, with 66 percent saying they have either a somewhat or very favorable opinion of her in the organization’s most recent survey.

As a result, Cruz’s critics considered his attack as more of an endorsement:

7. As the song goes: Ted Cruz, "We Don't Buy You"

Or, as Dr. Seuss might have put it:
He said, „Cruz.“ I said, “Lose!”
That Cruz-you-lose, that Cruz-you-lose.
I do not like that Cruz-you-lose.

“Do you like my phony ruse?”
I do not like your phony ruse.
I do not like it, Cruz-you-lose.

“Would you like it as a bore?
“Like it on the Senate floor?”

I would not like you, crashing bore,
I hate you on the Senate floor.
I do not like your big fat head.
I do not like it, Ted-so-red.

Would you like it bit by bit?
Would you like it full of shit?

Not with shit, not one bit,
Not as a bore, not on the floor
I do not like your big swelled head
I do not want it, live or dead.
I don’t care for your phony ruse.
I do not like it, Cruz-you-lose.

Would you try it blowing smoke?
Would you like it served by Koch?

Not with smoke, not by Koch
Not with shit, not one bit
Not as a bore, not on the floor
I do not like your right wing blues
I do not like it Cruz-you-lose.

“You don’t like it, so you say.
“But listen one time, and you may.
“Listen, and you may I say!”

Ted, if you will let me be,
I will listen and you’ll see.

SAY! You really ARE quite full shit!
I like your drivel not one bit!
You really are a crashing bore!
You don’t deserve the Senate floor!
And I won’t listen in the dark.
I cannot stand your slimy snark.
And I would put you in a box
‘Cause you are stupid as an ox
And you deserve to wheeze and choke
Since you are only blowing smoke
All financed by the Brothers Koch,
All your future prospects dead,
Go put THAT in your big fat head!
We don’t fall for your phony ruse.
We do not like you, Cruz-you-lose.

14. Excellent?

[DFW]

20. Good question

Your guess is as good as mine!

[Collimator]

8. So, a sane, down-to-earth person

with a skill set related to the position involved is a scary thing to Cruz? Her ethos of sincere service to her country must keep him awake at night.

[IronLionZion]

9. Sounds good to me!

I'm ridin with Biden/Harris

[wryter2000]

10. Can we have a taco truck on every corner, too?

Pretty please?

[rickyhall]

11. Good idea, Screw Loose.

Weird. Guy from Canada runs for US Pres. What a moron...

[flibbitygiblets]

12. Shouldn't Cruz be busy investigating his dad's role in the JFK assasination?

His cult leader said it's true, so....

13. Did Ted have a bee in his bonnet?

I think soooo.

[tiptonic]

15. Who Cares

Who ares what he thinks, he's not even an 'merican'. He's from Canada, check his visa.

16. K & R

Idiot Cruz

[Pepsidog]

17. Don't waste her there, new cabinet post as Trust-Buster to break up big tech and banks.

Unleash Liz on Wall Street they will shit their pants. Warren and Porter together even better.

[sandensea]

19. Absolutely. A Department of the Economy should be created (though it probably never will)

This is what most other countries have. The closest thing we have to that is the Council of Economic Advisers - a mere White House advisory panel.

The current Treasury Secretary format was designed by and for big banks - the rest of the economy be damned (all the more so when a Repug is president).

[StClone]

18. Cuz Cruz is such a tease to dangle that wonderful lady

As a Treasury Sec. Ahhhh, be still my heart. Thanks a lot Teddy. Now, I can't stop anticipating!

[NCjack]

21. Oh yes. Dept of Treas. is a good idea. I was thinking of Dept of Commerce, but the

Treasury is better. I want her fingers on the checkbook. Thanks, Ted.

[Grokenstein]

22. It's old, everybody's seen it, everybody probably thought it, but posting it anyway
