41. Here is why Ted has "eliminated himself"

Thu Jun 4, 2015, 09:57 AM

Ted has many enemies in the Republican Party. These enemies among Republicans,,( Yes, he is an asshole to almost everyone,) will use this to eliminate him. Not us, but his own party. And I might add this, no one with any sense of decency (except those that think he is a real "hero&quot will accept him as a legitimate candidate after his joke and his walk away..

Yes, even many Republicans know a shot to oneself, when it concerns joking about someone who has recently experienced the death of a son from brain cancer.. But time will tell. I do not think that he will ever be seen as a viable candidate after this. No matter what.
