How does a violent, abusive, drug addled character in this "story" relate to Trump?

Is the NR claiming Trump is any of those?

Of course, the Cruzers titter like prepubescent little girls at such crap.

Maybe the story of how Cruz's lovers used to peg ole Teddy in the Senate cloakroom........

Personally, I don’t understand the article.

No. Of course not. It's satire.

I think that what author Cooke is saying is that Trump worshipers, in spite of Trump's political flip-flopping and recent liberal past, believe that Trump will be a great conservative American President.
