Important Halloween note: When you’re thinking about party costumes, forget going as Senator Ted Cruz.Everybody will be going as Ted Cruz. (Consider going as Representative Ted Yoho. You would need a name tag, but “Ted Yoho” would be so worth it.)
Even in defeat, Cruz was in the limelight on Wednesday. “It is heartbreaking to the American people that Senate Republicans divided as they did,” he told his colleagues, demonstrating an unshakable confidence in his capacity to peer into the national mind.
Earlier, in a press conference, Cruz announced: “Unfortunately, once again, it appears the Washington establishment is refusing to listen to the American people.” There have been about nine million polls taken since the government shutdown, all of which showed the American people shrieking do not shut down the government! Where do you think Ted Cruz gets his information about public opinion? Twitter, that’s where. There is nothing so dangerous to national well-being as an extremist with a smartphone.
