I’ll put it out there—I’m rooting for Ted Cruz to win Iowa and New Hampshire and anywhere else he can do damage to Trump before the Joe McCarthy lookalike self-immolates in a bonfire of biofuel, birth certificates, and Goldman Sachs loans.
Yes, Cruz is a schlong. (And, by the way, Cruz didn’t support the Zadroga bill either, nor did 9/11 free-rider New Jersey governor Chris Christie.) And I get it that the real story about Trump’s slap-down in the last GOP debate was the way the mogul used the terror attack to establish dominance over Cruz, even making him applaud as he was being trumped.
That's why I'm rooting for Cruz. Hillary could beat him with ease, while the Beltway illusion—that she'd trample Trump—is crumbling more every day. The farce is with him.
However, it has become obvious that many Cruz supporters only support him because they think he can damage Trump. They know they can not defeat Trump. They want Cruz to do their dirty work so that Cruz can then be defeated.
They want Cruz to damage Trump and then implode or “self-immolate” as the author says.
