Real Time With Bill Maher: Senator Ted Cruz On The Rules of Democracy

From Real Time With Bill Maher

At risk of sounding like I'm not the President of the Ted Cruz Haters of America, (I don't know whose the most unpopular member of Congress right now: Ted Cruz or Marjorie T. Greene) I've never liked the man, but when he was first elected to the Senate and perhaps during his first 4 years in the Senate, I thought to myself, Ted Cruz is a real Republican. 

Pre-Donald Trump, Ted Cruz was somebody who believed in both civil liberties and property rights, as well as a limited foreign policy that wasn't designed to use the American military and tax dollars to try to police the world by ourselves. In the early and mid 2010s, pre-President Donald Trump, Ted Cruz was basically post-George W. Bush Neoconservative and post-Tea Party-Christian Nationalist. He was basically a Gen-X version of Barry Goldwater, a true constitutional Conservative. 

But then Senator Cruz runs for President, essentially gets crushed by Donald Trump (just like everyone else in the Republican field) but does better than everyone else other than Trump. And after DJT becomes President, I guess to finally occurred to Senator Cruz that he's not just a Senator from Texas, but a Republican Senator from a Texas, in a party that no longer even believes in Republicanism, let alone the U.S. Constitution and that this is now the MAGA Nationalist party of America. 

After DJT is elected President fairly and squarely (to use a 1950s phrase) Ted Cruz figures out that he needs to now get inline to kiss Donald Trump's ass in public and then pay him for giving the pleasure of kissing Donald Trump's ass, or go back to Texas work as lawyer for the rest of his career, because his political career would then be over.

In just 6 years, Ted Cruz goes from a Barry Goldwater constitutional Conservative, to an Alex Jones wannabe to makes his living, keeps his political career going as a political entertainer, who writes books, gives speeches, perhaps even writing articles, promoting pure bullshit. 

We're talking a about a man in Ted Cruz whose a Harvard Law School grad, who also graduated from Princeton, who once worked for the Solicitor General of the United States, who perhaps was beaded to becoming a U.S. Federal Judge himself, perhaps Attorney General or U.S. Justice, who now promotes the idea that Joe Biden didn't win the 2020 presidential election. I mean if Ted Cruz was ever sued for defamation, he would probably admit under oath that he's an entertainer, who doesn't believe in most of the conspiracy theories that he promotes. Which is exactly what Alex Jones did last year in his lawsuit.

We're not talking about a dumb man or a crazy man, in Ted Cruz. The opposites are true. But what we're talking about is a professional bullshitter. The Alex Jones of Congress, at least in the Senate. They're plenty of Alex Jones wannabes in the House as well.
