And yet because of his Ivy League pedigree, people still call Cruz smart.
Texas…one of the most impactful states in the Union hamstrung by their woeful political representation…two Senators who regularly show ignorance and intransigence on the most critical issues facing America…a state government that can’t get out of its own way.
There are 18 localities in The US named “Paris”.
(Geographyjones sometimes just can’t help it).
Republicans rush to fill the vacuum to appear to be the dumbest, most incompetent, most anti-democratic, most disgusting person in the party.
They’ll continue to think it’s what their base wants until shown otherwise.
Can we stop with the “stupid” - which itself is stupid and clueless? Let’s review the past 40 years:
-“Reagan is stupid.” Uh-huh - three landslides (count '88);
-“Dubya is stupid” - two victories;
-“Trump is stupid” - he got in the White House, came within 60,000 votes of re-election.
Why, they are so stupid, we won five of 13 Prez elections in 52 years. Why I am sure Machiavelli would agree is always a smart stratergy to misunderestimate one’s adversary.
Cruz is not stupid; he’s cynical - his goal is the White House in '24 and everything he says is geared towards that. Dismissing is “stupid” is not helpful.
How can people like Cruz, Cotton and Hawley, who are smart enough to earn degrees from prestigious law schools, be so dumb?
Don’t forget Lieutenant Governor Doofus Dan Patrick who refused to pay off his $3 million wager with Pennsylvania’s Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman!
It would seem an impossibility that Ted Cruz could be as stupid as he is ugly. But, apparently, he is.
Ted Cruz proves, yet again, that having an Ivy League education does not make a person smart or well-informed. Appalling ignorance and a toney education can easily go hand in hand.
Wouldn’t you just love it if his mouth was filled with canker sores and any attempt at speaking was so very painful that he simply sat in quiet disgrace.
Maybe Cruz was playing to Paris Texas?
Fundamentally, the problem is that Cruz doesn’t believe (or even more likely knows full well but for political reasons isn’t willing acknowledge) that human caused global warming is a serious problem. So long as you don’t believe there is a problem, you will never believe that a solution that imposes any costs whatsoever is worthwhile. Just like if you didn’t believe in clouds, night time or darkness, you would think any money spent on outdoor lighting is a total waste.
There’s a leadership vacuum at the top of the Patriot party. Cruz is still auditioning since the Proud Boys have essentially fire their previous leader, who left in a blaze of embarrassment yesterday.
I want to know when is the Senate going to censure him and Hawley.
PH d = Papa had dough
On Ted Cruz, Al Franken says he’s a “toxic guy in the office…the guy who microwaves fish.” – former U.S. Senator Al Franken
It is important to remember. Cruz is not stupid. He is playing his target audience (Trump’s base) for stupid.
He went to Harvard, argued before the Supreme Court before any idiot with a Trump case could do it, and is, repeat, NOT stupid. He’s corrupted by the ambition to be President, and took the lesson from Trump that poisoning the base as stupid is the key to success.
White privilege. The way they were raised. No empathy for others. Hollow souls that crave attention and power.
Poor poor Teddy yesterday sitting with his bowl of popcorn going cold as y’all quidah failed to show up and reinstall the god Damn Fool dictator for life, and the good guys were sworn in. O well Teddy. Make yourself feel better and send out some more fund raising letters.
Ted Cruz has to be the most intelligent IDIOT ever. I hope he’s smart enough to realize he’s in deep shit.
