Jon Stewart Plays 'Let's Get Rid Of Ted Cruz'

Jon Stewart spent much of Tuesday night's "Daily Show" going after GOP presidential candidates that he believes couldn't possibly win the nomination, including Carly Fiorina, Ben Carlson and Mike Huckabee. But he devoted an entire segment of the program to one candidate in particular that he says needs to get the boot now.

"There are so many hopefuls in the Republican race, we've got to start narrowing the field," Stewart said. "Let's do it with a game I call 'Let's Get Rid of Ted Cruz!'"

Cruz, Stewart said, can't even live up to his own standards.

Stewart played a clip of the Texas senator railing against President Barack Obama's fundraising efforts. Yet Cruz skipped town for a fundraiser himself, missing a vote on the confirmation of Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who he had vowed to vote against.

Cruz claimed Obama has inflamed racial tensions and used divisive tactics, but was unable to offer specific examples. Cruz also has a history of making divisive comments, like when he accused those who support marriage equality of waging a "jihad."

"So you want a president who can bring people together who understands that, if you're pro-marriage equality, you are the same as ISIS," Stewart said. "Got it."

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Look on the bright side, Stewart. You’ll have a career comeback of constant liberal whine under President Cruz.

[SoConPubbie]

Which other GOP candidate for POTUS takes the same level of crap from the media?

NONE!

Ted is doing something right.

Apparently he has to be destroyed, according to the media.

Can you smell the fear?!?!

Of course. Jonny Boy - like the rest of the leftist dill-holes are more scared of Ted than other GOP contenders. So they focus more hate on him.

I thought this ahole was leaving tv? libs just can’t let go can they.

[Leep]

I thought JS was retiring due to his useful idiotiness has expired.

[Eric Pode of Croydon]

I'm sure that less than 2% of the Jon Stewart audience would switch from Cruz to some other candidate based on his "comedy" bits.

That's either good news or bad news depending on how you look at it.

How did this Jon Stewart RUBE...ever graduate from Amateur Hour??

a clown with a long rubber knife...how impressive !

[Dr. Thorne]

Not gonna happen Leibowitz. Can’t wait to see you choke on the words “President Ted Cruz”.

[SES1066]

I have been under the impression that the Democrats do not have Republicans picking their candidates. Why the opposite is not true puzzles me!

[namvolunteer]

How can we miss him if he won’t go away?

“Cruz, Stewart said, can’t even live up to his own standards.”

That belief is born of living in a progressive cult where morality, integrity and patriotism are viewed as bad things.

When you're over the TARGET you get FLAK....

when you're NOT you get kisses thrown at you...

CRUZ ...-OR-... be PUNISHED by an Obama clone for 4 years..

The Left fears Cruz because they know him as a formidable debater--and that was when Cruz attended Harvard Law School. And Cruz argued legal cases with the toughest audience of all: the United States Supreme Court.

As such, if Cruz gets the nomination, he would easily defeat Hillary Clinton in the Presidential debates--especially since Hillary isn't anywhere near the polished public speaker her husband is when speaking "off the cuff."

The B-17 that’s over the target is the aircraft getting the most flak.

“Ben Carlson”?

[TADSLOS]

Jim Thompson's neighbor.

[Clint N. Suhks]
