Ted Cruz calls Hillary...a bigot?

quote:

Cruz bashed Clinton, who called the closures "a blast from the Jim Crow past" when they were initially announced, when asked about her comments by an Alabama news channel.

It’s not surprising to see a Democrat like Hillary Clinton coming in and attacking states, particularly Southern states," Cruz told WKRG earlier this week. "Frankly, it’s a bigotry from the Democrats. They look down on the southern states like we’re a bunch of hicks. Look, I’m from Texas and Hillary Clinton is not a big fan of my state either. We don’t need more politicians from Washington looking down on us like fly-over country. We’ve had seven years of a President who looks down on the American people. Hillary Clinton thinks we’re just a bunch ignorant rubes and we need to be governed by what she deems as moral and philosophical."

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Lol yeah that Clinton sure hates people born in the south, like Pseudo Canadian Cruz and don't get her started on that Bill rear end in a top hat who used to be President.

As a very liberal east-coaster I sort of have to agree that elitism and classism are pretty rampant here.

That, and an over-emphasis on college as the ONLY way forward are two of the more common right-wing criticisms of the left that I think have a lot of truth to them.

The problem for Mr. Cruz is that he's just offering the segregation. Hillary is offering the pork barrels. And of course, Mr Trump is offering both, if not in a down-home folksy tone.

This was my nightmare scenario even before Trump entered the primary. With all due respect to conventional wisdom, a Cruz nomination seemed less likely than a Trump nomination but, here we are.

If you really want to know what Cruz thinks and hear how he will govern, then you need to listen to his father, Rafael Cruz, and not Ted. Rafael is Ted's front man, the guy who is actually rounding up the evangelical vote so that Ted doesn't have to dirty his hands with the unwashed masses and gives Ted plausible deniability regarding his theocratic ideology.

Most of the stuff his dad is saying wouldn't have been that outlandish 20 years ago. Except maybe the part about there being no separation between church and state.

Congress are a bunch of losers. They won't do their job and make America great again. They're not listening to their boss and in this messed up system he can't even fire them. That's up to you the people.
