Stephen King lets Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have it

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.

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...

He wrote evil crap that infected young minds....then lol and behold (age 45 or so) he got seriously injured when a lo-IQ driver hit SK as he walked along a Maine country road minding his own business. This injury really got to SK. In his mind too.

You may have something there, the driver of the van that hit King years ago claimed his dog distracted him.

I thought the last book he wrote was “Carrie.” Do you mean he’s written something since then?

King has come out as a recovering alcoholic - perhaps he was closing in on wet-brain status....

His thoughts on anything are horror short stories, very short stories.

King despises conservatives, and was a Democrat activist in Maine...he hated Limbaugh so much that he purchased the radio station Rush was on, and changed it to a sports format. Of course, another station picked up Limbaugh immediately...a station with a much stronger signal.

Stephen King is the king of kitsch.

I do not want to convert them, I want to crush them.

Or give political advice, you myopic tub of shyte.

You’ve confused celebrity with genius. Tom Hanks couldn’t pour piss out of a boot. And while Spielberg is no doubt creative, that doesn’t make him smart.

Great post.

You get why these supposedly great artists are hacks.

I think we define politics differently.

I don’t think everything is politics, leftists think that.

I don’t think you are describing politics.

But what’s the measure of their brilliance?

Were these written after the real things happened or before? He is NO Edgar Allan Poe, who was a real genius.

King was nuts even before that bike crash; now it’s only a tad worse.

Every reply to this thread is evidence of why Conservatism is weak and dying. Conservatives know a lot about history and can write with eloquence, but they will attract fewer and fewer people to their ideology with every election cycle.

They’re so brilliant, all of them supported Obama.

Now there’s a real measure for you.

Bullsh%t. These guys are not evil Liberal masterminds. They choose side side with Liberalism. They want to be on the Liberal team. Why is that?

Well you can't call what I said "Bullsh%t" and then agree with it. I said they choose to side with liberalism - so do you.

But then the REAL "evil Liberal masterminds" (i.e. the money people) choose them BECAUSE they chose liberalism.

And those same ELMs DON'T choose conservative talents BECAUSE they are conservative - and the ELMs control the industry and the money (on purpose, for this reason).

In other words, I believe there is plenty of conservative talent, and even genius. But they can't get funded, and they aren't picked in Hollywood to do anything. So really, the people who need to get off the stick isn't the talented people, but the conservative millionaires and billionaires who fund movies and media and music. Because those are the people who aren't choosing to take on the ELMs in this area.
