  If you want to see how dumb voters can be, there is no better evidence than Ted Cruz.

  I followed his recent Senate race in Texas. In a speech, Cruz said he was fighting against the elite.

  • His father owns an oil company
  • He attended a private prep school in Houston. His classmates were kids from the Bush family.
  • He went to Harvard and Princeton
  • His wife is a senior executive at Goldman Sachs

  Fighting against the elite? What a joke.

    You have to remember it’s not about facts, it’s about feelings. As I always say, we’re all susceptible to that to some extent, but the republicans have it bad.

      I honestly don’t understand how he still gets elected here. I would cry systematic election fraud in Texas but the majority of my parents generation seemingly doesn’t vote at all. But their parents who just watch Fox News all day sure fucking do.
