From Clay Jones on his political cartoon “A Republican Crying Game,” icky things like Ted Cruz, and what Republicans won’t do to stop Trump
There’s a lot of skin-crawling icky things out there you don’t want to touch … slugs, boogers, backwash, shoulder hair, Kardashians, Ted Cruz.
Nobody likes Ted Cruz. People who went to college with Ted didn’t like him. Bob Dole, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, John Boehner, Peter King, George W. Bush, and any normal, sensible person in general pretty much hates Ted. And these are people on his side.
When he worked on George W. Bush’s campaign, if they wanted a meeting to end early they’d make sure to invite Ted. People couldn’t get out of the room fast enough, if they actually attended at all.
Cruz, whose features have been noted as similar to those of Grandpa Munster and Mr. Haney from “Green Acres,” even has a neurologists studying his face to determine just why it’s so creepy and off-putting and makes children and small animals cry. There are also two viral campaigns accusing him of being the Zodiac Killer and a member of the ’80s Christian metal band Stryper. Apparently, the lead singer of Stryper is pretty distraught over this.
Lindsey Graham said if you murdered Ted Cruz and your trial was before the United States Senate, you’d get off. Now Lindsey Graham is endorsing Ted Cruz for president because he’s that afraid of a Donald Trump presidency.
Mitt Romney has kinda sorta endorsed Cruz by stating he’ll vote for him in the Utah primary. What the hell is Mittens doing living in Utah? He was governor of Massachusetts. I digress. Romney is not overly excited about voting for Ted Cruz. I’m sure he’ll take a shower with a Brillo pad after voting.
Donald Trump doesn’t advocate any policies Ted Cruz disagrees with. The GOP establishment is scared of Trump’s style, which is mostly racist and insulting and calls for violence.
A Cruz presidency is actually scarier than a Trump reign of stupid. Ted’s father and wife believe he was sent by God to save America. Ted believes our rights were granted by God, not the Constitution. He was recently endorsed by a pastor who says God sent Hitler to kill the Jews. That’s actually worse than being endorsed by David Duke. Yet, it’s an endorsement Cruz embraces because he’s creepy.
Republicans will be crying in the shower by fighting for Ted Cruz in their “Stop Trump” campaign. Talk about making a pact with the devil … or a devil who thinks he was sent by God. Republicans are giving up on the presidency this time … and trying to save the Senate and House.
The really scary thing in this entire absurd situation is that the Republican establishment has to choose between a billionaire’s massive and expensive ego trip and McCarthyism. They’re choosing McCarthyism.

Forget the R’s, they’re either mean with our taxpayer money or in the case of Trump, encouraging violence. Caucus for Bernie Sanders, the only candidate who has our best interests at heart. Don’t let yourself be brainwashed by the corporate media, the Dem establishment and the Clinton machine. Let’s show them we can think for ourselves and caucus for the candidate who will tax the rich their fair share so our fellow Americans can go to the doctor and have enough to eat. Thanks!
