As soon as he left the Senate floor, Ted Cruz called the Rush Limbaugh show...

[kentuck]

And to listen to the dittoheads, Ted Cruz is the only courageous Republican that is left in Washington.

Talk radio and the Tea Partiers support Ted Cruz wholeheartedly. This is a big problem for the Republican Party.

Ted Cruz is the new Republican star. They cannot afford to throw him overboard to the sharks. They need him and his supporters now more than ever.

But it was interesting to see that the first person he spoke to after leaving the Senate floor was Rush Limbaugh.

1. So?

Limbaugh was all agog about Rick Perry. Look how he turned out.

2. figures, just goes to show what a douche bag he is!

3. That's great news because he represents the most outer fringes of the nut barrel

&, judging by the embarrassment of his own party, he's holding a big mirror up for them to see themselves.

Maybe this freakshow will come to a head if Cruz is given enough rope.

4. Cruz will be the GOP nominee, there's no way they'd let this jewel go

5. Probably called Rush before he went to the bathroom.

It's all about generating publicity.

6. He's been peeing in his depends all evening.

8. Called Rush in the bathroom?

[Kablooie]

7. I have a sneaking suspicion that Cruz has an actual plan behind all of this.

He's playing to the teapeople in a way that no one ever has before.
This is exactly what they've always wanted and I'm sure they are ecstatic.

The fact that he's so openly bizarre and everyone has turned so completely against him says to me that he is after something that no one quite sees yet.
It may be to become the Republican base hero and as a result get all the primary votes and become the presidential candidate but there may also be something more.

I hope he's just the buffoon that everyone thinks he is but there may be something going on underneath that is hidden so far and it makes me uneasy.

9. They always do. n/t
