If I were to mirror the example of the delusional right-wing folks who have spent seven years creating apocalyptic fantasies about how Barack Obama is a communistic, Muslim Antichrist, I could probably manufacture some scary characterizations of the first announced candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, Ted Cruz — but I won’t. Instead, I want to compare him favorably to his ideological soul mate, Sarah Palin, which may be even more scary..
Both the Texas senator and the former Alaska governor oppose abortion and same-sex marriage. They both want a smaller federal government and a more confrontational foreign policy. They want to repeal Obamacare and seal up the borders. Both are darlings of the tea party. Neither believes climate change is real. When they are in front of evangelical Christian crowds, they talk freely about salvation and prayer warriors. Both are so ambitious that they barely warmed the seats in their first major elected offices before jumping into campaigns at the highest level of national politics.
On just about everything, Cruz and Palin are on the same page. The difference is that the page Cruz reads from is in a law book, while Palin’s is in People magazine.
Palin is pretty much the embodiment of scatterbrained. Her off-the-cuff speeches are hilarious, nonsensical contortions of the English language. Her occasional stints as a pundit on Fox News are so daffy that even the sympathetic conservative hosts seem baffled by her blather. She is an attractive celebrity who is a good fit for a TV reality show, not for any position that would allow her to get her manicured fingers on the nuclear codes....

She looks like a cross-eyed linebacker in this Horsey cartoon. On purpose, I suppose, since Scalia and Cruz likenesses are more attractive.
In short, making the ideological ties with Palin actually expands Cruz's base of support.
Love it
I'm betting the other kids had a "special" way of pronouncing his last name when he was growing up.
Just another Ted Cruz motivational article from the Enemedia. Thanks, LA Times!
Palin is simply brilliant.
The leftist purveyors of public scorn always characterize their most intelligent opponents as stupid.
There was a study done that found that intelligent people were characterized by their knowledge of how little they know, while stupid people think that they are very intelligent and knowledgable.
The propagandists on the left pander to the low information voters and the stupid who think they are smart.
“I’d pay money to see two Ivy League trained lawyers, say, hypothetically, Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz, debate. Good thing is, it’ll probably be free and on every network.”
I doubt the old networks would agree to it. They know it would be a disaster for Hillary.
There’s IQ intelligent and then there’s instinctive intelligent.
Palin is instinctive. It kills them.
Indeed.
THEY really DESPISE Ted Cruz dont they!
So sad too bad!
The SEA CHANCE is coming!!
David Horsey is Joe Biden with a low[er] IQ.
Love ‘em both!
I wonder where Palin ranks with her critics in IQ. I bet she’s in at least the 90 percentile.
Cruz-AX bump
LOL
