Stick a fork in Ted Cruz

[malaise]

It's over - go Cheney yourself Cruz.

[EdwardBernays]

1. you mean

the guy who illegally hid his 1M loan from a megabank and who can't legally run for President (lol) is done... say it ain't so...

[malaise]

3. and then some and don't forget the wife worked with said bank

[EdwardBernays]

6. too hilarious

and that's not all:

[malaise]

9. Love Open Secrets

Stick several forks

[a la izquierda]

24. God, those comments though.

Enough to kill many brain cells with such stupidity.

[hifiguy]

33. Oopsie!

[malaise]

34. Sweet

[Lil Missy]

2. Couldn't happen to a better prick. n/t

[malaise]

4. That's the truth

[Chemisse]

5. Trump's birther comments about Cruz were bogus.

And the courts would likely agree - if Cruz had a couple of years to wait for a decision.

That said, it couldn't have happened to a more despicable candidate (well, except maybe Trump).

[leftynyc]

7. If I had a gun to my head

and had to choose between trump and cruz, I'd take trump all day, every day. I loathe cruz and am enjoying watching him get taken down by his own party. Because he burned every single bridge he ever crossed, nobody is coming to his defense - it's been a lot of fun to watch.

[Helen Borg]

12. WRONG!

Rambo Jeebus is still on his side!

[7wo7rees]

27. Don't forget the Duck Dynasty clan.....

We live in TX. Can't stand this person.

Hell, even W can't stand him. That is saying loads!

[Xyzse]

29. You know...

I might just agree with you in this assessment.
Kinda sad really.

[malaise]

8. The undeclared loan just adds to the problems

and yes he is a despicable ReTHUG scumbag.

[Chemisse]

37. He is probably the worst of them all.

Trump is despicable, but Cruz is a real slithering snake.

[Turbineguy]

10. Well, he did do some good

with the government shutdown costing an estimated $27 billion. Of course as president he would have been in a position to kill millions of Americans which is why he's such a tea party fave.

[jalan48]

11. Looks like Ted was bought and paid for by Goldman Sachs.

[Orsino]

30. Gee, the GOP will never stand for that. n/t

[bklyncowgirl]

13. I'd love to believe it but I fear he'll be given a pass.

Unless Trump rips into him on this--and I'd love to see him do it--the conservative media--and that's the only one that will matter in the primaries--will likely give him a pass. It is the New York Times after all.

The Evangelical crowd will forgive anything to get one of their own in the White House--even the possibility that their candidate was bought and paid for by Goldman Sachs and Citibank.

[rpannier]

15. He'll say he's recommitted his life to Jesus

and that'll be the last that is ever spoken of it

[bklyncowgirl]

18. Or he'll blame it on the liberal media.

I just don't see the hard core being turned by this.

[tblue37]

36. IOKIYAR. nt

[ejbr]

14. Ahem...

I did not play tricks with Uncle Sam
My wife and I don't give a damn
Ask my girls, they've been with us
Ignore this mess, what is the fuss?
I'm going nowhere; I'm here to stay
The U.S. Congress wants me I pray
God told me how to pursue this job
He told me to act as if in the mob

[malaise]

16. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahahah

Good one

[leftynyc]

17. Bravo(a)

Very well done. Laughing out loud.

[beac]

21. DUzy!!

[ladyVet]

19. If he were a Democrat, sure. Tea Bagger home boy? Nah. nt

[LonePirate]

20. This GS loan scandal is meaningless.

Repubs do not care about this sort of thing. He has made little headway against Trump except in Iowa. Cruz will get his ass handed to him on Super Tuesday without this scandal contributing to his losses. By the time he is up for re-election to the Senate, voters in the GE will have forgotten or shrugged off this incident.

[Paladin]

22. Future generations will marvel that someone so distasteful advanced as far as he did. (nt)

[malaise]

23. True

[Octafish]

25. What? You haven't forgotten that million dollars from Goldman Sachs?

What? You some kind of commonist? You got something against free market capitalism?

[Logical]

26. Want to bet, his fans dont give a crap about that. Nt

[dembotoz]

28. if they accept trump they will accept crud

they only hold dems to high standards

[PDittie]

31. I'd like to think so

But I doubt it:

http://nomoremister.blogspot.com/2016/01/you-cant-seriously-believe-this-loan.html

He's going to win Iowa and then South Carolina. On March 1 (Super Tuesday) he's going to win a massive number of delegates in the Texas primary. I think he's going to be the GOP nominee and that the Republican establishment will grudgingly move in behind him.

Seriously hope I am wrong.

[fleur-de-lisa]

32. I kind of want Cruz to be the R candidate . . .

He is so bat shit crazy and such a mean-spirited piece of shit that I think the independents will come out in droves to vote against him, regardless of who we select as our candidate (Bernie). And independents might very well decide this race.

And, of course, the whole issue of his birth is just gravy. I personally believe that he is probably eligible to be president, but I love all the drama the R's are stirring up over this.

[tabasco]

35. Did I miss something?

OK - never mind.
