This 2016 Rolling Stone article about Ted Cruz deserves reposting.
The quotes are classic, as is the video:
A Compendium of People Who Hate Ted Cruz’s Guts
“One thing Ted Cruz is really good at: uniting people who otherwise disagree about everything else in a total hatred of Ted Cruz”
By Tessa Stuart
Is Ted Cruz really “Lucifer in the flesh,” as House Speaker John Boehner declared earlier this week, or is he merely — as 38 percent voters in Florida are willing to believe — a serial killer? Based on the way his 8-year-old daughter, Caroline, recoils from his touch, we could easily be convinced of either possibility.
At a rally in South Bend, Indiana, Thursday, young Caroline was happy to dance with her sister Catherine, but scampered away in horror when her father attempted to scoop her up in a hug. Such behavior has become a recurring theme on the trail: At a February campaign stop in Iowa, Caroline flicked her dad away when he tried to come in for a kiss, screeching, “Ow, ow, ow!”

To wit, a treasury of people who really, really hate Ted Cruz:
George W. Bush: “I just don’t like the guy.”
Bob Dole: “I don’t know how he’s going to deal with Congress. Nobody likes him.”
John Boehner: “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”
Lindsey Graham: “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”
Peter King: “I hate Ted Cruz, and I think I’ll take cyanide if he ever got the nomination.”
Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer: “Everybody who knows him in the Senate hates him. And I think hate is not an exaggeration.”
Conservative columnist Ann Coulter: “Cruz is a sleazy, Rovian liar.”
