In a brilliant tweet, the horror master perfectly sums up the state of the 2016 presidential race.

Stephen King has unloaded on the Republican presidential field on Twitter — the horror master’s latest dive into savvy GOP bashing.

This tweet takes on the nightmare that is the current field of right-wing senators Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.

Stephen King
✔ @StephenKing

Cruz, Paul and Rubio, all running for President.
Hey, I thought I was supposed to write the
horror stories.

2:25 PM - 16 Apr 2015

In recent weeks, King has jumped into the debate over Indiana’s religious freedom bill...

Like I said, only a sick animal would have the heroin, a preteen girl, have sex with preteen boys to BOND and save them from the evil clown.
As I was young, I went along and said the book was GREAT!! fool.

What passes for "brilliance" on the left.

This is the main problem with modern conservatism.

What makes conservative ideology so unappealing to otherwise intelligent and successful people?

Stephen King. J.J. Abrams. Steven Speilberg. Tom Hanks. All brilliant and enormously talented. You'd be a fool to think otherwise. These are extremely intelligent and talented men. Yet, they're all very Liberal.

The Conservative movement needs to do some serious soul searching to figure out how to attract these kinds of people. It at least needs to defend itself and go on the attack.

I’m sure we’ll soon be blessed with Cher’s equally brilliant political insights too.

I suggest we get past the idea these people are brilliant. They make up stories.

It would be more accurate to say they are the opposite of brilliant, when we define brilliant as it should be defined—the ability to discover truth.

These guys seek the opposite of truth.

There are millions of brilliant and talented people in this country. Collectivist billionaires and CEOs and Corporate Boards only choose to elevate the collectivist geniuses. But they do not define the limits of genius, neither in number nor talent. They just place their lives in the complete control of the collective, and are happy doing it. All the other talent is left to rot. Accepting this state of affairs, supporting it and dedicating ones professional life to it, is what the world calls "smart."

And look at the state of the world today - it's the direct result of the efforts of all these "smart" people.

I don’t see it.

Maybe Hans as an actor, but then again not a deep one. Just likable.

The others are hacks.

FUSK.
You are blinded by your heart.
It shall be your undoing.

Remember how you wrote Roland. What he did. Who he was.

Find your spine and be a man.

in king’s twisted illogical mind, the last 6 years have been utopia no doubt. He came to visit our highschool one day- I’m glad I was sick and missed it
