Cruz/Carson 2016…it does have a ring to it. Then again, it’s hard to say with a straight face.

He won the Six Flags Over Jeebus poll? meh

Big news is that Wasilla Kardashian didn’t place in the top 5. Definitely past her “sell-by” date.

Daniel actually won the award for “most superfluous uses of the word ‘actually’ in a four-paragraph article.”

Enthusiastic value voters were able to get their Jazzies close enough to the Senator to tear off pieces of his mom jeans as momentos…

Cruz came in first with 25 percent of the vote followed by Dr. Ben Carson with 20 percent of the vote and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee ÂŽ in third with 12 percent of the vote.

So these three stooges will be at the Republican debates this year?
Yaaaaaay.
Wait doesn’t Reince Priebus want to cut back on those to keep from creeping out voters?

Cruz is the ne plus ultra of smarmy, dishonest, mendacious, self-serving, pompous right-wing blowhards.

So of course he won the straw poll—he is everything the rabid right-wing base admires.

How can I help ???

Let’s do this !!!

Billionaires, stand behind Cruz all the way…

It would be the biggest debacle for the GOP in my lifetime. GOP would lose every seat from President down to dog catcher.

So he’s down from 42% share in 2013 to low-20’s a year later? Pro-tip, Ted: you’re eroding your brand. It’s probably a mistake to let people find out what an asshole you actually are.
