'SNL' Mocks 'Nasty Little Weasel' Ted Cruz After Iowa Caucus Win
Carnival Cruz is a nasty little weasel and SNL captured the essence of this weasel last night http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/snl-mocks-ted-cruz-appearance
NBC comedy show "Saturday Night Live" mocked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)'s campaign and the candidate himself following his Iowa caucus win. "SNL" cast member Taran Killam played the GOP nominee hopeful.
Killam as Cruz claimed he was an "unconventional candidate."
"I didn't get where I am today because I was born wealthy or handsome or charismatic or nice," Killam said. "I am not cool or likable or even fine."
He went on, with other jokes about Cruz's appearance.
"In other words, I have overcome perhaps the biggest political liability of all time -- being Ted Cruz," Killam said.
Killam argued as Cruz that "isn't it time for a President whose just a nasty, little weasel?"

South Carolina and Super Tuesday will be fun
Iowa was a must win for Sanders
Sanders is only polling well in four states where the voting population is 90+% and if Sanders can not win in Iowa then he is in trouble in South Carolina and the Super Tuesday states http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/02/01/iowa_caucus_stakes_for_hillary_clinton_and_bernie_sanders.html
For Bernie, meanwhile, a Hillary victory would be an undeniable blow. With the exception of New Hampshire and his home state of Vermont, the Hawkeye Statewith a Democratic electorate that skews white and liberalrepresents the friendliest terrain on the map for Sanders. If Bernie cant win in Iowa, Clinton and her allies will have no problem brushing off a Sanders win in New Hampshire next week as little more than the result of the senator being a near-native son in the Granite State. Sanders, then, would be in need of a win elsewhere to reset the raceand soonbut wont have any obvious place to turn.
