Clown Car UPDATE: Ted Cruz "edges out" Ben "Bullet Riddled" Carson in NC Teabagger caucus. USA! USA!

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/article/2574391/



Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex., won North Carolina's Tea Party Constitutional caucus over the weekend, edging out retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

"North Carolina is an important state for the Republican primary, and our campaign will continue to build our team in the Tar Heel state to ensure our campaign is competitive," the Texas senator said in a statement Monday morning.

"The Tea Party will be instrumental in helping to organize and elect a strong constitutional conservative and I am honored to receive their support," Cruz added.

Cruz won just over 50 percent support in the statewide voting.

don't get jobs as preachers.

Cruz should follow in his father's footsteps and spew his bullshit

from behind a pulpit.

They won't stop until the U.S. is a Christian Corporate Theocracy.

They are the greatest threat this country faces, outside of climate change.

They sicken me to my core.

They truly HATE the U.S. and the majority of it's population.

Half the people aren't repubs. Only 20% of the repubs are part of the radical right. Only half the radical right is tea party aligned. And, 50% of the people who will vote have no involvement in these polls right now.

So one in every 80 voters has thrown their support to Cruz. He must be so proud.
