(90,633 posts)That spittle-flecked arm-whirling deranged creature who led off was introducing three GOP candidates: Jindal, Huckabee ....... and Cruz.
Rachel Maddow covered it. Who else has?
H2O Man, I have never forgotten that no less than Alan Dershowitz once devoted an Op-Ed to Cruz's character ( which I don't think he liked). He added that Cruz was the most brilliant student that he, Dershwitz, had taught.
I loathe Cruz, but ever since then I have seen his words and behavior through that lens: whatever else he may be, he is brilliant.
As to the other dangerous candidate, the latest Bush scion is in this election for the long haul. He looks and acts like a dweeb's dweeb, and he may be -- but he is a Bush and has the backing of what we at DU used to be aware of as the BFEE.
We lose sight of these things at our considerable peril.
Thank you.
