It's time for a Ted Cruz thread.

Or, if you want a better example from a real Science Fiction writer, how about Nehemiah Scudder from Heinlein's Future History series (in in particular Concerning Stories Never Written)?

Published in 1953!!

I should add that to my reading list too.

Try Oryx and Crake before The Year of the Flood which is where you'll find Adam One.

Year of the Flood didn't hold my interest like The Handmaid's Tale did.
 
Even 30 percent of Republicans believe he is or aren't sure, too:

The "Prophet" Nehimiah Scudder in Robert Heinlein's "If This Goes On" comes to mind also.
 
This guy's fear mongering is mind boggling.

He is literally saying today that "we are one justice (SCOTUS) away from publicly funded abortion on demand up until birth, one justice away from a complete repeal of the Second Amendment, and one justice away from total suppression of freedom of religion."

Talk about lying, sheesh. If he believes what he's saying he's nuts. And if he doesn't believe it his dishonesty is off the charts.
 
He knows he's lying too. But he's lying for JEEZUZZ so it's perfectly fine.

The bright side is that this will work on the fundie right, but only on the fundie right. He'll get hammered in the general election should he succeed in beating out Trump. Which I don't think he will. And then the True Believers will stay home, rather than vote for the Non-Christian Roman Catholic Rubio.
 
Yesterday Cruz put a hold on federal aid to Flint Michigan, despite bipartisan agreement. Subsequently, perhaps because they'll be having a primary there soon, he withdrew it. But why hold it in the first place?

He's an Obstructican. That's what they do.

I'm completely unable to wrap my mind around the concept that 40% of Floridians think he might be the Zodiak killer. I feel like I'm a test subject in some sort of Truman Show experiment.

I believe that most speculation is that a lot of the positives are jokes, they don't like Cruz and may be aware of the internet meme, and that a certain amount of the unknowns may, in addition to joke answers, be people who don't know what the zodiac killer is and didn't want to affirm anything either way since they just didn't know.

Because "government is the problem, not the solution" knee-jerking.
 
Now Cruz is claiming we are one SCOTUS justice away from being subject to the World Court, and from having cemeteries torn down if they have religious symbols in them.

His fear mongering is mind boggling. Do people seriously believe what he saying about liberal SCOTUS justices?

Pandering to CPAC is scarier than Trump.
