Ted Cruz Quite Possibly Just Made His Most Ridiculous Statement — Ever [View all]

It’s no secret that I absolutely cannot stand Texas Senator Ted Cruz. I still go back and forth between him and Sarah Palin when trying to figure out who I loathe more. Currently the edge goes to Cruz simply because he’s actually a senator, whereas Sarah Palin is nothing more than a failed vice presidential candidate and the Alaska governor who quit before her first term was up.

That being said, it’s not difficult at all to find ample quotes from Ted Cruz that are completely absurd.

But while there are plenty of quotes proving Ted Cruz is an idiot, the context of his recent comments about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid using the “nuclear option” to change the rules of the Senate might just be his most ridiculous ever.

Cruz: Of course it will. I mean, it will poison the atmosphere of the Senate.
