Ted Cruz turns up the trolling to fill the Trump Twitter void

[douglas9]

On Nov. 8, 2016, the people of the United States of America elected a Twitter troll as our president. Yes, that’s rather reductive — Donald Trump is certainly many other things — but it’s also true. Trump parlayed a fixation on agitation and dominating the news into a winning campaign, giving a substantial enough portion of the population the kind of provocateur-in-chief they wanted to shake up Washington.

But with Trump now banned from Twitter and generally out of our daily lives, one man has stepped forward to pick up the mantle: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.).

Cruz’s Twitter feed and even his public persona have long been less formal and more in-your-face than most any other member of his party. But of late he seems to have stepped up the effort, and that includes, much like Trump, latching onto undercooked claims and culture wars other Republicans have shied from.

of an emasculated man for sucking up to Trump after he insulted his wife.
Cruz will never be president.
Get thee to the greatest page for visibility.

5. If Trump's got dirt on anyone it's most likely those who have done a quick 180 like Cruz and Graham.
