Ted Cruz Makes A Fool Out Of Himself During Interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly

During his short time in the Senate, Ted Cruz has proven himself to be an absolute joke. It baffles me that there are millions of people in this country who actually take this clown seriously. Not only is he one of the most ridiculous politicians we have in this country, but almost nothing he says is actually true.

It really shouldn’t come as a shock that when Cruz went on The Kelly File last night on Fox News, he made an absolute fool out of himself. It started with Megyn Kelly asking him if he would deport American citizens born to illegal immigrants, like Donald Trump said he would do.

“Do American citizen children of two illegal immigrants get deported under a President Cruz?,” Kelly asked. After saying he didn’t want to “play her game” – because apparently asking a serious policy question that has major implications on the lives of millions of Americans (as well as our Constitution) is unreasonable to Cruz – he finally tried to blame her question on the “liberal” mainstream media. No, seriously… “I get that’s the question you want to ask,” Cruz responded. “That’s also the question every mainstream media liberal journalist wants to ask.”

Ted Cruz is feeding into the Trump attacks on Kelly. I think Cruz wants to position himself to attract the Trump voters who may have to look for a new candidate if Trump falters as many suspect he might

How the hell he got through Princeton and Harvard Law baffles me utterly.

His little red choo-choo chugged around the last bend of sanity a loooooong time ago.

8. The liberal media doesn't ask that question because liberals aren't debating revoking US citizensip

and planning mass deportation of Americans. Only the GOP people Ted is running against are. This is so a conservative issue. A real journalist would have pointed that out.

and then picks him as VP. He's all but sucking the diamond-crusted Trump toes to ingratiate himself.

11. Cruz was a Tea Party neophyte when he beat a better funded well established mainstream Republican

candidate to become a Senator.

Trump's current campaign is essentially a rerun of Cruz's primary campaign.

12. And his base will believe that a Fox News anchor is a "mainstream media liberal journalist".

It is sad but not surprising.
