Rep. Peter King (R-NY) appeared on CNN’s The Situation Room Monday afternoon and when Wolf Blitzer asked him to explain his statement that compared Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to a “carnival barker,” the Republican congressman opted not to walk back his comments but instead take about a dozen steps forward.

“We need intelligent debate in the country. Ted Cruz may be an intelligent person, but he doesn’t carry out an intelligent debate,” King said. “He oversimplifies, he exaggerates and he basically led the Republican Party over the cliff in the fall of 2013. He has shown no qualifications, no legislation being passed, doesn’t provide leadership and he has no real experience. So, to me, he is just a guy with a big mouth and no results.”

“King is a simpleton.”

Not really, King is a Democrat pretending to be a Republican. It’s all part of the Democrap strategerie.

If he is talking about principles he should have jumped when Obama was elected.

The Cruz campaign should say if King does jump that they will set up a concession stand to sell tickets.

Ted Cruz may be an intelligent person, but he doesn’t carry out an intelligent debate"

I don't see anyone on the national stage right now, democrat or republican who could best Ted in a serious, factual debate monitored by someone fair and unbiased.

In a debate with Obama, he would show the world what a bumbling, mumbling, platitude spouting, uninformed, lying, juvenile Barack Obama really is.

In a debate with Hillary, he would leave the Fat Lady singing "The Party's Over" before she knew the debate had even started.
