He does remind me a lot of Nixon... after Nixon went a little batty. However before becoming president, Nixon was a sincere guy who was a veteran who got along with other people. If you look into Nixon's history before he became president Ted couldn't really hold a candle to him. Nixon put his reputation on the line fighting communists who had infiltrated our government. Ted is a nasty lawyer who thinks he is better than everyone who has managed to offend just about everyone at one time or another. He and the Cruz excusers do not want you to look into his past because once you get past the Cruz campaign narrative... it is not very pretty.
Then why did they call him Tricky Dicky long before he was elected president?
There’s something about Cruz that doesn’t sit right with me. Maybe he’s trying too hard to look like the nice guy, but he comes off as a whiner.
