102. cruz isn't too bright? if that's who you're talking about, i wouldn't underestimate
Tue Mar 24, 2015, 02:39 AM
Mar 2015

the man just because he's a creep. he's intelligent. He graduated cum laude from Princeton and magna cum laude from Harvard Law.

I don't like alan dershowitz, but he's not stupid:

Referring to Cruz's time as a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, "Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz


What cruz is is something else:

During high school, Cruz participated in a Houston-based group called the Free Market Education Foundation where he learned about free-market economic philosophers such as Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Frédéric Bastiat and Ludwig von Mises.[29] The program was run by Rolland Storey and Cruz entered the program at the age of 13.

Cruz met his wife while working on the George W. Bush presidential campaign of 2000. She is currently head of the Southwest Region in the Investment Management Division of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and previously worked in the White House for Condoleezza Rice and in New York as an investment banker.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz

He's a high-level operative, trained practically from the womb. But not stupid.

the brilliance to a discernible level... that is all. it's obvious to many who value common sense and a sense of humanity for others over brilliance. but, you are correct - the maniacal aspects of his persona should not be underestimated.

He appeals to enough of the dipshit/nimrod base to succeed there.

But once it becomes clear what a whackadoodle his dad is, not to mention ol' Tedster himself, it will be a walkover for the Democratic nominee.

Someone beat him to buying his own name as a domain name, with the express purpose of embarassing him should he announce his candidacy for President, as he's doing today.

In any case, our efforts here should propel this website to the top of the search engine results for a few days, especially if we make repeat trips.

Whoever owns this URL should get a group together and really demo some scathing stuff - humor, Cruz's errors (and there are lots of them), a platform for anti-tea party bullshit.

I hope they don't continue to just use it for one-line snipes. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

I really hope he gets the nomination. It'll be easier to focus on his lack of qualifications and crazy policy positions.
