One thing I like to think about is how much everyone hates Ted Cruz. Not just his political opponents, but his colleagues, especially, along with his past roommates & acquaintances. Just about everyone who& #39;s ever known him hates him. An impressive record of being repellant. https://twitter.com/SenTedCruz/status/1301615647730868225">https://twitter.com/SenTedCru...
Here& #39;s @DavidCornDC & @timothypmurphy having a go at explaining why people call @tedcruz things like "pompous asshole" and "backpfeifengesicht" (German for "face that should be slapped"). https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/01/ted-cruz-jerk-hated/">https://www.motherjones.com/politics/...
Our own @awprokop read @tedcruz& #39;s book to try to figure out why everyone hates him, and concluded, yeah, makes sense, he& #39;s super terrible. https://www.vox.com/2016/1/28/10846212/ted-cruz-republicans-hate">https://www.vox.com/2016/1/28...
Of course, @tedcruz& #39;s spin on this is that he "loves" being hated. He actually wants you to hate him! He& #39;s not mad, he just thinks it& #39;s funny! This is, you will note, exactly the kind of dishonest bullshit that makes people hate him in the first place. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/04/why-ted-cruz-loves-to-be-hated-213859">https://www.politico.com/magazine/...
And now, @tedcruz -- hated by colleagues, opponents, & acquaintances, utterly ineffectual at accomplishing any of the goals he claims to prioritize, reduced to lickspittle for a tyrant -- spends his days on Twitter playing unfunny stand-up comedian. As his master puts it: sad!
