Cancun CRUZ: "It's your fault I'm an idiot."

Incredible as it might seem, once upon a time in Texas there was actually a *Liberal* Senator. His name was Ralph YARBOROUGH. Back when - when wingnuts were in disrepute and supposedly kept their worst thoughts SILENT, long before LIMBOsevic and Drumpf gave them permission to barf them out - apparently the guideline didn't apply to Texas, and the wingnuts were merciless in ridiculing him, their main tag being, "the Little Embarrassment."

These days the bar for embarrassment is so low that Cancun CRUZ, like Drumpf, so craves media attention that no amount of shame (is there any other kind for those two?) deters him in being a laughingstock.

A Texas DUer posted that this (insert type of "thing" here) has absolutely zero relation to performing any public service to his constituents, spends all his time chasing media attention.

Well, it's a good thing you don't have a job where having a critical eye toward sharing information and whether something is real or fake could have an outsize impact on a group or in this case an individual if you aren't careful. Take care, U.S. Senator Cruz. ….

Selective Populism. The will of radical minority sold as the will of majority, or at least trying to do so.
