Ted Cruz Is the World’s Most Condescending Elitist
By Dan Amira


Ted Cruz often cites his father as living proof of the American dream. An immigrant from Cuba, Rafael Cruz slaved away as a dishwasher ("Since he liked to eat seven days a week, he worked seven days a week&quot to pay for his education at the University of Texas, putting him on the road to one day owning his own small business. What Cruz doesn't mention is the next step in his father's American Dream: raising a son who would attend the very best schools in America and look down upon everyone else with a nauseating, unthinkable smugness. GQ reports:

The elite academic circles that Cruz was now traveling in began to rub off. As a law student at Harvard, he refused to study with anyone who hadn't been an undergrad at Harvard, Princeton, or Yale. Says Damon Watson, one of Cruz's law-school roommates: "He said he didn't want anybody from 'minor Ivies' like Penn or Brown."

1. He seems to have the gift of pissing off everybody he meets

Colleagues on both sides of the aisle hate his guts. Republicans still think they can harness the crazy and use it. They're wrong.

2. You've got to read the GQ article

he comes across in that exactly as you'd expect him too. A condescending piece of shit with Borderline Personality Disorder that I wouldn't want to be in the same room with.

3. Who the heck voted for him?

Cruz sounds like a world-class jerk.

4. I feel sorry for people who went to the University of Texas

or Rice.

Their senator thinks they're inferior.
