Crubio are outsiders since they started pimping themselves out to the highest bidder to become the nom nom nominee.

Awkward chuckles, long silences, and evading are the Senatorsā coded ways of saying that Ted Cruz is an insufferable fuckface.

Shorter Thune: āWeāre all pretty stupid, and he took advantage of that fact to aggrandize himself. We donāt like that.ā

Or one hand fapping.
āBottom line is I think heās more electable than Trump. I donāt know how much that is.ā
Only a fool would say that. Cruz is trailing Trump in a race that just involves GOPāers. How does Sen. Graham think heāll do once Democrats join the show? Neither Cruz or Trump are electable. Itās not that one is more electable than the other. Neither will ever be president.

Not even his one-time BSFF, Mike Lee (Insane-Utah).
For a while, those 2 were much depicted on long homoerotic walks, sharing glasses of homo, palāing around like domestic terrorists. Now, not even Blanche DuGraham (R-SC) finds them sufficiently safe to contemplate approaching. McConnell probably has each in segregated seating set up outside the R Senate Caucus room. Theyāre the Senateās Syphlides:
Tall and wan and soft and icky
The Boys from Treponema keep trying
To turn us all toward theocracy
And if they succeed, whenever they win
Weāre all screwed.
Oh ā¦ but we hate them so badly
Each ā¦ is like Hannibal Lecter
Yes ā¦ I would give one nut gladly
To send each to the private sector
So we donāt have to hear them both hector.

āOthers told Bloomberg they were still salty about Cruzās driving role in the 2013 government shutdown.ā
Did I just read the phrase āStill saltyā in a news article? That better be a direct quoteā¦

Until, if and when, Cruz gets nominated, then they will fold like a greased umbrella, hypocrites all.

Cruz: I am so much against establishment that no one in Washington wants to endorse me.

Itās going to be nasty enough when the day comes that they have to commit to the R nominee. No point in rushing it.

I donāt know why any GOP Senator would rally to Cruz. There is no evidence that he would be a better GE candidate than Trump or better help the GOP to keep the US Senate.

The Curse of the Slope-Browed Illiterate. There are so many of them that they can make a political party dominant, but every 60 years they experience some atavistic death-urge and destroy whatever party is hosting them at the moment.

I would have absolutely no problem, or would rather be highly appreciative, if from now on TPM publishes Cruz articles without big fucking creepy photos of his face. Thank you for your consideration.

Even though the Texas Republican establishment has endorsed Cruz it is notable that the senior Senator, John Cornyn, has been conspicuous by his silence.

They just canāt get past their antipathy and I do not blame them one bit. Itās the only slice of humanity Iāve seen out of Republicans lately - their deep distaste for Rafael.

Teddy, itās so much nicer to be liked by your colleagues, especially when youāre part of a parliamentary body.
Itās even nicer to be liked by your constituents. All EFFECTIVE leaders are liked. When youāre disliked youāre on your own and may even find yourself sabotaged.
Iām reminded of the the old āsociogramsā ā who likes who. Teddy is that little circle off to the left all by himself.
Poor dumb bastard. He has probably been unable to detect cues all his life.

You are most clever, grasshopper.
Iāve always envied anyone who could parody popular lyrics. Itās not easy.
