Who would President Ted Cruz pick for Supreme Court?

[misterhighwasted]

Or VP?
Hypothetical of course, but the Supreme Court pick becomes rather unnerving

Does the Teaparty have anyone qualified?

[Thinkingabout]

1. himself

[misterhighwasted]

2. Ha. Of Course. Or maybe his Dad.

Maybe that Prince from Nigeria who his donation page is connected to.

[Thinkingabout]

6. Yes it would be fair to nominate his father, his father has nominated Ted to be King.

[misterhighwasted]

7. What a nightmare. However, Ted is polling at 3% so we are safe for now.

Dad actually said Ted should be king didn't he?
Seems I recall a bit about that some time ago.

[Thinkingabout]

12. Can you believe even 3%?

[3catwoman3]

19. That was my first thought.

I'm sure he would if he could get away with it.

Or fellow Texan loon Louie Gohmert. (Perish the thought.)

[misterhighwasted]

22. AAAgggh Gomert as SC Judge!

The world in the hands of those two loons isn't even predictable..well other than the total effin end of it.
LOL Gomert gasp!!

[tammywammy]

3. Jerry Falwell Jr.

[Omaha Steve]

4. Was Clarence Thomas qualified?

[Art_from_Ark]

44. No.

And neither was "Fat Tony".

[BillZBubb]

5. He'd pick Edith Jones for the SC.

Ultra right wing, racist appeals court justice.

[misterhighwasted]

9. It would be bad enough if anyone on the GOP list had the chance to pick the next SC.

But Cruz?

[JanMichael]

8. Satan if he is ready to do it. nt.

[misterhighwasted]

10. There you go. Just look into Cruz's eyes. Satan is in there

[Thinkingabout]

13. Maybe we could send Ted to Moscow to stare into Putin's eyes

[misterhighwasted]

23. haahahaa.. Satanic stare down

They'd both burst into flames

[jberryhill]

37. You have to go to Alaska for that

[Kingofalldems]

11. A Liberty University 'scholar'.

[DavidDvorkin]

14. Monsters.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

15. Judge Roy Moore

[Lochloosa]

16. Roy Moore. Hands down.

[sendero]

17. Cruz has as much chance...

.... of becoming president as I do. He's truly a delusional moron who will be a footnote in the not too distant future.

[3catwoman3]

20. "...a delusional moron who will be a footnote in the not too distant future."

From your keyboard to...

[PeteSelman]

28. That's what they said about Captain Jellybean and The Chimperor.

I have zero faith in the American electorate.

When the right runs a crazy person, they win. When they run a moderate they lose.

[hughee99]

32. I don't recall anyone saying that about either.

While there was much agreement that they were crazy, I don't recall anyone saying they didn't have a chance to win. Cruz doesn't even have a chance to win the republican primary.

[PeteSelman]

35. Reagan was considered a buffoon.

Who had no chance to win right up until he did in a massive landslide.

Bush the Lesser was also considered too stupid and extreme to win before he bought the primaries in 2000.

We need to be careful is all I'm saying.

[hughee99]

39. I don't think either of them was considered as batshit crazy as Cruz is right now.

My brother is a republican and even he thinks Cruz is nuts. As my brother put it, "He's decent at tossing bombs, but if they put him in charge of the gunpowder he'll blow them all up".

I think, in the end, the Republican money men will see him as too much of a loose cannon, rather than a useful stooge to do their bidding, and won't give him enough money to overcome his obvious failings. More likely, though, is they'll just flat out dump their money into someone else that will be sure to "play ball", like Jeb Bush.

[PeteSelman]

42. Well, let's hope so.

I can see the mouthbreathing base getting totally behind this guy in the primaries.

[hughee99]

43. They got behind Santorum last time and Huckabee before that, and look how well that went for them.

The republicans will spend their next few months trying to out-crazy each other while the eventually candidate stays largely out of the fray. The big donors like this because it makes their candidate look like a "sensible alternative" by comparison come primary time.

[PeteSelman]

45. I don't know. I think they're going for the real McCoy this time.

They're tired of falling for the okie doke, they want the most conservative guy possible. I don't think all the money in the world is going to help Jeb Bush. The model is broken.

Walker might get through, he's got cred with the dummies but it's not going to be a "moderate" this time.

[hughee99]

47. They didn't like Romney last time, but that's who they got. You might be right, but

the donors haven't really weighed in yet, and in the republican party, the people with the money usually get what they want.

[PeteSelman]

52. Alright. We'll see what happens.

It'll be interesting at the very least.

[Half-Century Man]

18. I fear

VP: Louie Gohmert, as assignation insurance; who would shoot you with that waiting in the wings?

SoS: Tom Cotton, cause he sent a letter to a foreign government, he has international diplomatic credentials.

AGOTUS: Darrel Wilson, proven track record with handling minorities and firm in dealing with those rebelling against his abuse of authority.

Surgeon General: Rand Paul, who had the courage to form his own medial accreditation council (National Ophthalmology Board) after he had issues with having to deal with re-certifications by the American Board of Ophthalmologists'

Head of the FBI. Joe Arpaio gets the job done regardless..........

Head of the CIA: Darrell Issa, facts don't deter this go getter in his zeal for the minutia of the story.

SCOTUS: Rudolph Randa, ordered the destruction of evidence against Scott Walker, takes junkets sponsored by the Koch Brothers for judicial retreats.

[misterhighwasted]

25. Oh My God!! What a team! Frightening & hillarious!

That's a pretty good post you have there.
And the Clown Car parked out on the White House lawn.

[Half-Century Man]

41. At this point it's a double decker clown bus.

They will began feeding on each other and narrow the field down. The strongest stupid survives.

[meow2u3]

27. You just described America's Worst Nightmare

I hope it doesn't keep me awake at night wondering whether or not some teathug will kidnap me and torture me at some dark site.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

40. cheesus. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Good lord that is scary bad.

[Agnosticsherbet]

21. His father.

[hughee99]

24. IMHO, Anyone who thinks someone that spent a significant time in national politics would

make a good SC justice doesn't have a clear idea of what the SC is SUPPOSED to do.

[Initech]

26. Someone further to the right than Scalia.

And that can't be good for anyone.

[KentuckyWoman]

29. snidely whiplash

He'd have to go more cartoonist than Scalia.....

[Nye Bevan]

30. Santorum? (nt)

[JoePhilly]

31. A Cheney daughter.

[First Speaker]

33. Well, I'd say it would be General Francisco Franco...

...but he, of course, is still dead. So, too--alas--is General Augusto Pinochet. On the other hand, I'm not sure the fact of their being dead would keep Mountie Boy from nominating them. They fit his value system so perfectly...

[lovemydog]

34. The Flintstones.

For their fine work with dinosaurs.

[Rex]

36. Since it is hypothetical, just living or if he could pick anything or anyone?

He would probably have Area 51 make a cloner and that would be it for humanity. The rise of the Cruz army.

[Chipper Chat]

38. Shirley Roper

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

46. His dad

Or anyone else who's a Dominionist

[Colorado Vince]

48. cruz won't get close to the gop nomination, let alone the white house

Relax!

[lonestarnot]

49. And this isn't even worth speculating as he turns my stomach just thinking about him.

[Tom Ripley]

50. Judge Roy Bean, Torquemada, Cotton Mather, Savonarola
