Tucker Carlson hosted Ted Cruz tonight. Cruz tried to minimize his comments re: 'terrorist attacks' on the Capitol. Tucker didn't let him off easy. Citing his intelligence and carefulness with words, Tucker pushed back against the Senator's explanations.
Tucker: ‘you lied!’
Cruz: ‘mip mup muk mim mup but but ...’
Ted Crub copulated the canine and amidst capitulating crapped on the concrete.
Ted, is not on my list for anything above senator.
Cruz won’t get 1%, he might as well save his money.
I thought Cruz was smarter than this. A blind man could see that the Democrats are pinning their entire campaign strategy on the theater that they’ve created surrounding “The Insurrection”. A second “impeachment”. A “special select committee”. Enough government “emergency spending” to Democrat interest groups to feather their campaign war chest to finance a media onslaught of epic proportions. And what does he do? Steps right into the minefield.
Goodbye, Ted. You just handed the nomination to DeSantis.
At first I didn’t get it, why Carlson prefaced the interview with “you are much smarter than me”.
IT GRADUALLY DAWNED ON ME Tucker was maneuvering Cruz in a corner, he could not claim he wasn’t thinking or spoke absentmindedly. Well he could, just not with so much credibility. Tucker: you are sly…but so am I.
I think the word "spinweasel" should be created in (dis)honor of ted.
And by Tucker saying that exact phrase he played down his actual intelligence. He knows to say, “you are much smarter than I (not me). He was doing the, “Aw shucks”, thing.
Good job. I’ll have to watch the interview now.
It is a shame because he is conservative and a smart guy, but when he slid over to politics, it bit him on the ass every time. He went toe to toe with Trump in 2016 until he made the miscalculation of trying to ‘type’ Trump as a ‘New Yorker’, who basically had no morals. Trump nailed him on that, and then took him out easily when he got Cruz to react to the accusations that his father was the shooter on the Grassy Knoll. I wouldn’t say that he is done, but he will basically have to start over and earn the trust for who he really is. I am not sure that he can overcome that.
Democrats can deliver because they know rank and file conservative voters are just political cucks. Any time a politician does something a Conservative doesn’t like, the Conservative runs out and buys a gun then gets on Conservative social media to have a Conservative circle jerk. When a politician does something a Leftist Democrat doesn’t like, they run for office, riot, boycott, dox, commit acts of violence or terrorism, etc. In the context of the culture war Conservatives are losers and have no stomach for what it takes to win.
Maybe I was just speaking for myself as a Texan. I wasn’t mad at Cruz. I thought the ire directed toward him was not necessary. It’s ABbott and the people that actually run the state that I thought were more to blame.
Dems are all socialists of various flavors. The GOP is a coalition of Not Democrats. You have country clubber globalists and MAGA conservatives all in one GOP tent. Those are diametrically opposed agendas. That makes it easy for the GOPe to divide and conquer.
No doubt the people who run Texas were to blame + Mother Nature.
You failed to get my point. You asked. I tried to explain.
I suppose it was bad optics, but it didn’t bother me. I get your point.
He really is a spinweasel.

Meant to ping you on the last one.
I like the term spinweasel.
