Ted Cruz's DUMBEST Attack Line Against Trump, So Far...

[TrollBuster9090]

Ted Cruz: "Ronald Reagan did not spend the first 60 years of his life supporting Democratic politicians."

No, shit-for-brains, just the first 51 years. Reagan was a Democrat until 1962, when he was offered some serious bucks to campaign against Medicare as a monstrous, communist plot; and he switched to the GOP at age 51.

1. Support this Teddie...

Your hero would have loved to have had you as his gardener.

10. Or being a seasonal farm worker. nt

2. Facts and truth matter not to Ted Cruz voters

They are every bit as pathological as he is.

3. That's true, but sometimes...

But sometimes their disconnection with the real world is so extreme that it's actually hilarious. This is a good example. Another hilarious example would be Craig T. Nelson, and his infamous statement "I've been on foodstamps and welfare, did anybody help me out? No!"

4. So technically, wasn't he correct?

He said not the first 60. Reagan was a Republican at 51, so I don't see what you're trying to say.

[TrollBuster9090]

5. Technically, he was correct (by nine years). But I'm sure his goal...

But I'm sure his goal was to make Trump sound LESS like Reagan...not MORE like Reagan.

6. Reagan also tried to join the communist party when he was young.

They sent him away because they thought he was a flake.

[TrollBuster9090]

7. And they were right. The guy's political ideology was always determined by...

...by the last person he talks to.

8. He was a union leader even. President of SAG.

Young Reagan was OK. Old Reagan was a tool used by diseased men to destroy the American way of life. Far fucking worse than the commies the SOB railed on about.

9. Hehe, I heard he got to be union leader of the Screen Actors Guild by turning in anybody who might

beat him in the election to McCarthy and the HUAEC. He and Bonzo the chimp were the only two actors left who weren't blacklisted!

[CBGLuthier]

11. He got them health care and the creation of the residual system.

After five acrimonious weeks of intense back-and-forth, the two sides reached a compromise. It contained three parts:

Actor residuals for all studio films made starting in 1960.
No residuals for any studio films produced before 1948.
In lieu of residuals for films made between 1948 and 1959, the producers agreed to a one-time payout of $2.25 million, a contribution SAG would use as seed money for a new union health insurance plan and a pension plan.

BTW, he was elected president of SAG a few months before the blacklist began and four years before the first Bonzo movie was made. But he also did inform and testify before HUAC.
