Ted Cruz Criticizes Jimmy Carter a Day After His Cancer Admission
In his "soapbox" remarks at the Iowa State Fair on Friday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz criticized Jimmy Carter's presidency - a day after Carter's moving public admission about his cancer.
"I think where we are today is very, very much like the late 1970's. I think the parallels between this administration and the Carter administration are uncanny, same failed domestic policy, same misery, stagnation and malaise, same feckless and naive foreign policy. In fact, the exact same countries, Russia and Iran, openly laughing at and mocking the president of the United States."
When asked about the timing of his remarks, Cruz said, according to Bloomberg News: "We can always have a discussion about public policy."

I didn't realize that. So he has a history of being insensative and crude. :(

Seems like Cruz is going to campaign with Trump to pick up where Reagan left off; rounding up

Actually he makes me nervous in part because he is very intelligent, very talented, very ruthless.

On a more inspiring note, Carter joined to eradicate guinea worm disease and today there are less
