This, ladies and gentlemen, is only reason No. 437 why it is highly unlikely that Ted Cruz will ever be president. Happy Fourth of July from Raw Story!

No matter how bad you expect this video to be, it’s much, much worse.

1. He is as charismatic as the Rmoneybot.

2. Mika's expression is priceless. As is Joe's double facepalm. n/t.

15. facepalm while saying, "Sweet Jesus!".One of my favorite Fox moments.

3. "Look, all I did was sing 'Amazing Grace' to the tune of Gilligan's Island..."

5. You want to know what's funny in that scene?

All the women pretending to be men in that scene were male actors.

4. Watching that just now,

I noticed (for the first time ever, believe it or not) my reflection on my phone's screen. I was shocked to see the ugly scowl I had on my face. Not that it didn't convey exactly what I was thinking and feeling. But damn, it was not a pretty sight.

6. The lyrics to Gilligan's Island also fit the tune of "it came upon a midnight clear"

Now sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fa-ateful trip.
That started fro-om this tropic port,
Aboard this ti-iny ship.

The mate was a might sailin' man,
The ski-iper bra-ave and sure.
Five pa-ssengers set sail that day-,
For-- a three hour tour.

An amazingly versatile song is The Gilligan Island Theme.

8. And Stairway to Heaven

11. luv it!

The "and the rest" part is the best. It took them years to realize they could fit in "The professor and Mary Anne" just fine.

7. Just imagine ...

...Imagine the uproar from the right wing if a Democratic Senator had done that. the GOP would have demanded a Congressional hearing.

10. Evil horrible man

When I see his face I see the devil incarnate.

[Rstrstx]

12. Really? I see McCarthy

not that there's much difference.

[ChazInAz]

13. My hope?

I hope he comes to the same sort of end as Tailgunner Joe...though more quickly, to avoid the damage to our country.

18. He also looks like Nazi Hans Frank, Governor General of occupied Poland

[nyquil_man]

14. Emily Dickinson too. Yeah, it's called meter.

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.
