"Ted Cruz is the Michelle Bachmann of the Senate"

http://www.burntorangereport.com/diary/13132/ted-cruz-is-the-michele-bachmann-of-the-senate

Since the day of his inauguration, Ted Cruz has been gaining a foul national reputation for each of those qualities. He has voted against everything the Senate has voted for, leading him to his abysmal 1-13 voting record (including votes against confirmed John Kerry for Secretary of State and against the Violence Against Women Act). Cruz is fighting against the bipartisan immigration deal, brought a pistol grip to the floor of the Senate to make a ridiculous point, and claimed that the gun show loophole doesn't exist.


Ted Cruz does not represent Texas interests. He is bad for a Texas that is turning blue and is quickly becoming the most reviled senator in Congress. Even his own party has had enough of him.

Fortunately, I don't think this fucknut would ever have a prayer of winning a GE, let alone even his party's nomination. I think the country has had enough of his brand of pyscho.
