And Cruz lasted a lot longer than more established Repubicons. I did have to laugh my ass off when he made that desperation move at the end to have Carly Fiorina as his "running mate". She has run two companies (Lucent and Hewlett Packard) straight into the ground, and Lyin' Ted thought he could pick up California votes with his last-ditch gambit.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
