...who has successfully convinced some viewers that he's actually an unbiased journalist. When, in fact, he's a hack, and a feckless, pitiful excuse for a journalist. He didn't challenge Cruz on a single one of his bullshit statements, all of which are proven wrong by the facts.

3. It really is disgusting how these people

will lie so blatantly and the toad won't call them on it. Also there is no way to call out chucky boy either. You can write him, like I'm sure millions have and told him how chicken shit it is but his people just delete it. They only here what they want to hear. Chuck is a right wing hack, it is obvious to me that he is owned by his corporate masters and would say anything he is told, for that paycheck. Including being a dishonest puppet.

4. I hate Trump but I'd rather he beat this guy

Ted Cruz is such a loathsome individual so blatantly phony and appealing to the absolute worst in his clueless base because he knows they are dumb enough and frightened enough about the right wing created boogeymen that they'll buy his fear mongering hook line and sinker.

Trump would be a disaster, of course--but this guy is downright dangerous. Trump called him unstable but I tend to think he knows exactly what he's doing and doesn't care. "Sandblasting crosses off veterans tombstones"? Really? He's playing all the right notes for his dog whistle zombie supporters.

Honestly--if you made me pick him or Trump--I'd take Trump--and I'd never take either.

But this guy makes me sick.

He pushes hate in a way I may never have seen in a politician.

I don't think that even a cynical shyster like Cruz can win the republican nomination with a base of supporters stupid enough to believe something like that.

10. "Just as Ronnie Raygun was to the Presidency so Scalia was to the SCOTUS"?

If by that you mean "A complete disaster who betrayed the public trust and did tremendous long term damage to the nation and the office" then I concur.

And speaking of Ronnie Raygun- Was 1988 80 years ago? My how time flies when you're nominating Supreme Court justices. Does the name Kennedy ring any bells, Rafey?

And this asshole considers 5-4 balanced... As long as the RWNJs are the 5 and liberals/centrists are the 4.

What an idiot. I guess since they lost the whole bashing gays thing, they have to find another enemy.
