Whatever pain / hilarity we have to ensue in the next six months, we can all come together, at least here, to enjoy Cruz failing.

Someone requote that epic Cruz takedown post plz

sec

quote:

I just want to remind everyone of something.

One of the most loathsome people to ever loving live on this planet, Ted Cruz, backstabbed and hosed over every person he came in contact with for the past four years, forced his party into a bunch of no-win scenarios that made them look stupid and clueless, and generally called out everyone in his entire party as a bunch of commiesymp Islamolibs who want to dress up as a gay-married woman and gently caress a child in a public bathroom. He did all of these things knowingly, burning every bridge he's ever crossed, mauling every hand that's ever fed him, all in service of one dream: He would become the Republican nominee in 2016 and win the Presidency and then the trail of blood and nightmares he left behind wouldn't matter because gently caress you I'm POTUS that's why.

He sacrificed everything to this goal, and he's going to lose by a small number of delegates to the political equivalent of the Fukushima meltdown. His strategy would (probably) have worked! It's pretty clear that the JEB! never stood a chance regardless of how much money he raised because he's a loving walking Ambien who conservatives thoroughly despise, Scott Walker couldn't even figure out how to hire someone who understood things like "a budget," Ben Carson looks like an attractive candidate up until he has to speak in anything other than meaningless fortune-cookie platitudes, etc. All that work, all that planning, all that treachery, all that time.

ALL FOR loving NOTHING AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

He's been reaching for this brass ring his entire life, leaning farther and farther out from his carousel horse. What would he lose first, his balance, or his nerve? But he never flinched, leaning out further and further with each turn of the carousel, and then just before, just before his fingertip brushed it an orange hand came out of nowhere and took that bitch right away from him, right in front of him, and there was never anything he could do to stop it. Now all that's left is the fall.

There aren't words in any language to describe the joy it brings me to see such a heinous, hateful motherfucker destroyed in such a gut-wrenching, miserable way. Tonight was the beginning of Ted Cruz's descent to a talk radio host saying things like, "Well, when *I* was in the United States Senate, let me tell you..."

Ted is a mess.
Ted is a waste.

Oh my god. Maybe I'm still bitter about growing up as a gay in a Texan evangelical household, but watching Cruz go down is giving me depths of schadenfreude that I didn't even know were possible.

Cruz was never a worthy opponent, just more detritus to be pushed aside. His only value would have been if he joined Trump's campaign earlier on.

Well, I mean relatively. If the convention was contested there would have been fist fights, and I was really looking forward to it :(

This is the kind of twist that GRRM loves. Instead of an epic Cruz/Trump showdown Cruz is unceremoniously mowed down in a skirmish

On the upside this is early enough for Trump to have everything on stage coated in gold paint and giant TRUMP logos plastered all over everything. It'll be yooge and very classy.
