New York Republican Rep. Peter King, who is considering his own bid for the White House, mocked Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz's announcement that he was running in 2016 and said the Texas Republican isn't qualified to serve as president.

"Shutting down the federal government and reading Dr. Seuss on the Senate floor are the marks of a carnival barker not the leader of the free world," King said in a written statement on Monday.

King's statement references a Cruz speech on the Senate floor that last more than 20 hours, railing against Obamacare in 2013.

The New York Republican has been a vocal critic of Cruz' since the government shutdown that fall, blaming him for the standoff and calling him a "fraud."(continued)

Rove was already on Fox this morning dissing Cruz with his white board citing an NBC poll showing Cruz in 8th place popularity wise with negatives almost as high as his positives.

Not mentioned: El Jefe’s negatives were higher.

So NOW Conservatives have to defeat the MSM, the Democrats AND the GOP?

This is a surprise to you? What were you expecting? Ted Cruz is the only one running who understands that this is exactly the nature of the fight.

That's why he is the best -- in fact the only -- hope for saving America. Assuming it can be saved, that is.

Ted Cruz is the only one who has the correct vision and isn't afraid to tell the truth.

I like to see someone shove Tokyo’s white board up his Soetoro hole.

Didn’t take long for Anthony Weiner’s bitch to slander Cruz, did it.
