Cruz's college roommate is on an epic 10-month Twitter rant

Mazin has seriously kicked it up a notch since Cruz launched his presidential campaign in March 2015 and has been one of his most vocal critics. There are personal shots from their time together 25 years ago, but he also weighs in on Cruz’s positions as they relate to the presidential campaign.

The hatred clearly runs deep.

“I would rather have anybody else be the president of the United States,” Mazin told the Daily Beast in 2013. “Anyone. I would rather pick somebody from the phone book.”

He’s also called Cruz “a nightmare of a human being.”

“I have plenty of problems with his politics, but truthfully his personality is so awful that 99 percent of why I hate him is just his personality,” Mazin said on the Scriptnotes podcast in October 2013. “If he agreed with me on every issue, I would hate him only one percent less.”

Mazin isn’t alone in his dislike of Cruz, as Donald Trump has called him a “nasty guy” while saying “nobody gets along with Ted.

If Bernie Sanders and Jimmy Carter prefer Trump, that seals it for me!

I am not a Cruz supporter (anymore) but this guy, with all his vitriol, has to be a Leftist Obamabot. Why would any Republican listen to him??? Can anyone say ‘15 minutes of fame?’.....I knew you could.

Finally, some sense!

I'm actually on Twitter. I only recently spotted this hateful, raving lunatic and I whacked him for being a 44 yr.-old, bitter, punk-ass...lol.

Heck yes, he's a Demonic-rat ... I mean Hollyweird?

MAYBE, he likes Trump, but he HATES Cruz a lot MORE!

Were this Mavin HONEST and he's NOT, he would do a #NeverCruz.

Oh, I doubt that - this guy is still obsessing over his former college room-mate decades after they stopped living together. That indicates unrequited love more than hate. This guy Mazin probably has a secret shrine to Cruz in his apartment.

Because, in a Presidential election, political positions aren’t really important. Personality is.

Perhaps if Cruz would start calling people dummies and liars, people would like him more?

Most normal people don’t still talk about college like he just left last year and not 25 years ago. Cruz is the one that talks college and debates he had in college. To me it’s weird like you have nothing to be proud of since college. So since Cruz talks college all the time, I think the roommate is fair game.

Trump gets along quite well with Jeff Epstein, Bill and Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Charlie Rangel, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Al Sharpton and on and on and on.

In fact is there anyone on the left Trump doesn’t get along with?

Seems Trump and his good buddy Soros have supported the same people.

I despised my first college roommate (and the feeling was mutual). But I doubt I’d dump on him after 25 years ( or 40 as the case may be).

Same here - I barely remember him anymore and I doubt he remembers me, either. We moved on, like normal people do. Cruz's stalker doesn't seem to be able to do so.

I guess you missed the part where the guy says politics constitute only 1% of what he finds objectionable about Cruz

I guess you missed the "who cares what this liberal fruitcake says about ANYTHING" part.

Cruz is a Canadian and then he tries to pass himself off as an American. Rafael is a fraud.

Cruz has Given Obama everything obama wanted

Nukes for Iran : the corker bill

Obamatrade

Illegals are still crossing the border in Texas etc.

Obamacare . It was actually Canadian Cruz that Told w bush about roberts to the Supreme court.

Now Jeb Bush,Lindsay Graham, Romney ,club for growth,and the rest of the Gope are doing fundraisers and robo calls for Cruz . Cruz = gope.

All the amnesty crowd is for Cruz .This proves Cruz is the biggest liar ever.

Aug 2015:

Trump told CBN's "The Brody File" [in April 2011] that gay people were "tremendous" and that "there can be no discrimination against gays."

http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/donald-trump-2016s-most-lgbt-friendly-republican

_________________________________________________________

Aug 2015

"It's not the first time Trump has taken a pro-LGBT stance. As far back as 2000, Trump was advocating the idea of amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation - something the currently-pending Equality Act would basically do if lawmakers on Capitol Hill ever decided to pass it.

"Amending the Civil Rights Act would grant the same protection to gay people that we give to other Americans - it’s only fair," Trump told The Advocate in February, 2000.

In the same interview, Trump said he favored "a very strong domestic-partnership law" that guaranteed same-sex couples equal legal rights as married, heterosexual couples.

Trump also said he believed Don't Ask, Don't Tell - the military's then-ban on openly gay service members - had "clearly failed."

Trump's spokesperson, Hope Hicks, did not immediately respond to msnbc's request for comment on where the presidential candidate stood on the Equality Act. But his longstanding support for ending discrimination against gay people has been well documented. ..."

Yep, you got it. Crus has been in on the deals since he worked for Bush. His wife is long time RNC type.

Mazin statistically comes from a hardline tradition of collectivism and destruction of the pluralist host culture from his parents and grandparents via Eastern Europe

Why that is often the trend can be debated forever and insults hurled

Cruz is a descendent of Cubans fleeing the result of what folks like Mazin and his ancestry likely support.....collectivism and central planning

That Mazin detests Cruz is no surprise really

Yes Cruz is apparently not terribly well liked but his Jamaican roomie of many years loves him

Just saying

A Trump supporter here... there’s something wrong with this roommate. I haven’t read anything he says because it’s totally irrelevant and I don’t want to waste my time. Last election someone brought up something Romney had done in high school. Sheesh! Focus on current issues.

Mazin must be a Democrat.

The Real Ted Cruz

The real Ted Cruz has been a tough solid hard-nosed conservative from the get-go. Trump has been all over the road with his political views. He says whatever he needs to say at any given time depending on who he's trying to suck up to at the moment, be it Marxist Bill de Blasio, Obama, or KGB Putin.
