All Your Excited Reactions To Ted Cruz’s Big Presidential Jesus Announcement

These Rand Paul supporters were excited to be in the front row
Ted Cruz is ready to take America down the Jesus Road to national salvation, and some people are more excited about that than others. On the one hand, you have your Tea Party Nation, which declares Cruz “the only electable Republican” because he’s very smart and is “not handcuffed with the consultant class” that has kept Real Conservatives from winning the GOP nomination, and hence the presidency. And then there are fans of other candidates, like the Liberty University students in the photo above, who wore their “Stand With Rand” t-shirts for Rand Paul and made a point of sitting in the front row.
David Bossie, the head of Citizens United (sounds familiar for some reason) is pretty chuffed about the announcement, telling Newsmax that Ted Cruz “speaks truth to power.” Presumably this means that he lies to the head of NASA about what the space agency’s mission is, promises to “repeal” Common Core, even though it isn’t actually a law, and is generally full of shit. (Also, when did the right wing decide to adopt the phrase “speaking truth to power,” which we’re pretty sure is trademarked by Radical Ethnic Studies professors, and our benevolent Editrix’s mom, in the first place?) Fun fact: Of 42 Cruz statements checked by Politifact – and yes, we know Politifact is far from perfect — only one received an unambiguous rating of “true.” Truth to power? The guy has trouble speaking truth to anyone.
Over at Dead Breitbart’s Home For Spittle-Flecked Computer Monitors, there was a certain amount of premature rejoiculation:
The comments, which you should never read anywhere but Wonkette (where they aren’t allowed), are a strange mix of birther arguments over Cruz’s eligibility and favorable comparisons of the Cruz family to those people currently occupying OUR White House. We’ll give Senator Cruz this much: the kiddos are cute, even the one who was such a Jerk Baby a few years back.
Not all the students in the Liberty University crowd were delighted with the event, because apparently even Born Again Christian college students like griping on social media, bless their hearts. A few choice comments from the anonymous Yik Yak app (what? Liberty students not revealing their identity while using their phones at a mandatory event?):
