Pennsylvania AG calls Ted Cruz a 'sad sack' after Trump asks for his help in Texas lawsuit

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) called Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) a "sad sack" after President Trump asked him to argue Texas's election lawsuit to the Supreme Court.

During an interview on CNN, Chris Cuomo asked Shapiro what he thought of Cruz reportedly agreeing to argue the case to the Supreme Court, should the court decide to hear it.

"He has proven himself to be neither a genius in the law or a genius, frankly, in terms of an EQ," Shapiro said of Cruz. "He is a sad sack."

The suit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) argues that electors from Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Pennsylvania should not be allowed to cast their votes on Monday because the election processes in those states were compromised.

Trump base. (He had that support before they threw him aside to coalesce around Trump.)

When people ask, "Who will be the next Trump," I don't say it will be Cruz, but he's one of a few people I'm keeping my eye on because of how fully he's prepared to throw his self-respect away to obtain it.

Was the better than the "Sad sack" comment.

Think about that for a second. Can you think of another instance where a person such as a State AG filed a lawsuit that they themselves can't possibly believe has legal merit?

I watched John Kasich last night call them all out, Cruz, everyone, saying that there is no way any of them believe in the underlying premise of the lawsuit(that one State can nullify another State's vote through SCOTUS). You could tell he was sick to his stomach.
