The stories about Ted Cruz‘s unpopularity are legendary. His senate colleagues can barely hide their disdain for him, while his attempts to act like a normal human being almost always backfire.
Awkward and repellent, it’s especially uncomfortable when Cruz attempts to insult other people. The professional sh*tposter recently opined on the controversy involving ex-RNC chair Ronna McDaniel’s new contract with NBC News, only for a former campaign colleague to put him in his place.
NBC staffers are outraged over the network’s decision to hire McDaniel, given her election denialism and adversarial relationship with the media as RNC head. Cruz, who prioritizes social media engagement over governance, decided to weigh in with a predictable argument of whataboutism.

Cruz’s post has been viewed more than 1.2 million times, which probably makes him smile. It’s also generated hundreds of replies, including one from Reed Galen, a former GOP operative and co-founder of The Lincoln Project.
Galen, who worked with Cruz on George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign, shared some insight into his reputation as a political staffer. Spoiler alert: “Cancún Ted” was hardly the life of the party.
In fact, other staffers actively tried to avoid him after work, according to Galen.

Here’s just a few of the news stories that you really need to know about it…
“Little known story. On the 2000 George W. Bush campaign, every evening a staffer was sent to find out where @tedcruz was going after work. The rest of the team would then go somewhere else,” he posted.
That’s pretty harsh, though we would expect nothing less from a man whose mere presence in the hallway scared away coeds when he was an undergrad, his ex-college roommate says (more on him in a moment).
But for now, let’s enjoy Cruz getting dunked on, shall we? It’s a political pastime that never gets old.
Not one single person who knows Ted Cruz likes Ted Cruz.

Galen’s comeback is the second time Cruz has been humiliated online in as many weeks. Last week, the gay-hating pol attempted to troll out California state senator Scott Wiener, who expressed outrage over Cruz’s bigoted questioning of a Muslim judicial nominee.
But unfortunately for Ted, he got his wieners confused…
Happens to the best of us!
Cruz, of course, was referring to Anthony Weiner, the former New York congressman who resigned in disgrace over a sexting scandal. Suffice to say, the two wieners are very different!
Days later, Cruz’s inaccurate smear job is still up, for some reason.
But there is a benefit to Cruz keeping up his misleading post: it allows the actual Scott Wiener to respond. The two attended Harvard Law School together, despite Cruz’s apparent ignorance about his one-time classmate.
Wiener, like many people who have crossed paths with Ted, had some embarrassing tea to spill.
Wiener’s recollection of his alienated classmate jives with Mazin’s description of Cruz as an undergrad. The successful screenwriter, who most recently was the executive producer of the hit HBO series The Last of Us, has been humiliating Cruz online for over a decade.
One of Mazin’s most notable digs came in 2016, when he shared some perspective regarding Cruz’s support for a law that banned the sale of sex toys in Texas.
“Ted Cruz thinks people don’t have a right to ‘stimulate their genitals.’ I was his college roommate. This would be a new belief of his,” he posted.
Another favorite came the following year, when Mazin dished on Cruz’s account “liking” a pornographic tweet. “Sadly, the fact that Ted Cruz jacks off to mediocre porn spam is the most human thing we can say about him. This is actually his high point,” he wrote.
In general, Cruz being linked to any sort of promiscuous behavior is repulsive, especially when the Christian conservative brings up the topic himself. Last year, he shared his opinion on what women want in bed.
Predictably, the reactions weren’t kind.

Ted Cruz talking “weenies” was not something we were waiting to hear.
Ted Cruz just mentioning sex made me vomit a little in my mouth. 🤮

As one can see, Cruz has only gotten cringier in adulthood. His fellow senators, much like his college classmates, prefer to stay away.
As Al Franken said: “I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.”
Lindsey Graham, meanwhile, once joked that if somebody killed “Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”
On the positive side, lawmakers may only have to put up with Cruz for another nine months or so. He promises to be involved in a tight reelection battle this fall, likely against Texas rep. Colin Allred.
If past is prologue, it’s only a matter of time before Cruz tries to insult his presumptive Democratic rival, only to fall on his face…again!

NBC fired former RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel after Chuck Todd and other “talent” attacked her on air over the weekend.

Ronna is a liar who had defamed the people she would now be working with. They shouldn’t have hired her in the first place.
It’s bad enough her nepo-baby replacement is going to take funds away from other Republicans to defend her father in law.

Sad to see America’s biggest Crook doing so well in the polls.
Ronald Reagan’s one great achievement was so upping the ante on defense spending that he nearly-bankrupted the Soviet Union which led to its dissolution and the freeing of Eastern Europe.
Today’s sorry-a++ Republicans want to betray these young democracies and give it all back. If Trump gets in, the future belongs to China and Putin.

This is only for the state of Texas. Even Drudge has Biden now over Trump in six polls nationally.
ZzBomb
Leave it to Baron Whataboutism to cite polls for one state and try to portray them as a national poll.
The swing states are turning blue bro and your messiah is out of cash and is cancelling rallies.

Trump’s ahead in Texas? Shocker!
still_onthemark
Pretending Texas polls figures are US poll figures? Say it isn’t so, Baron!
still_onthemark
Hey Baron, why isn’t Trump holding rallies? Is he campaigning from his basement? Like you always say Biden did in 2020? I’m joking, of course, no one in Florida has a basement.
abfab
Barron can’t figure out jokes so it’s great that you helped him out with that one. The big joke that’s tripping him up is Trump.
abfab
Baron is also a known liar. All of his polls are rubbish.
Bonerboy
@Baron Wiseman Why would you post this Texan poll without mentioning it’s solely a TEXAS POLL?? Because you want people on here to think Biden is doing poor nationally, I would guess. But why? What does that get you? Do you think Queerty members will see the polls and immediately jump on the Republican bandwagon because…why? To be “in” with the majority? You know that’s not even ever going to be true. I don’t understand why you continue to post on here, Baron. You get nothing from it.
bachy
All propaganda is aimed at demoralizing the opposition.
Baron Wiseman
Heaven forbid someone should put up a poll about Texas on a post about Texas senatorial representation! Horrors!
NON-TEXAS POLL!!!
Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden and the rest of his likely general election opponents in six of seven critical swing states, according to a Morning Consult/Bloomberg News poll.
The poll, released Tuesday, shows Trump ahead of Biden and third-party candidates in every swing state except for Michigan, where the 45th and 46th presidents tie.
Everyone happy? Of course not.

No Barren, no one is happy. That’s the effect you have.

sorry ted, anyone who tries to make a sexual joke about not satisfying someone in bed IS NOT satisfying heidi in bed.

How did Rona Romney McDaniels become persona non grata with the MAGAs? She did everything Trump wanted including changing her name.

Yikes, almost missed this Ted Cruz story:
I do not like that Senator Cruz
I do not like his far right views
I do not like his stupid chin
I do not like his smarmy grin
I do not like him with a beard
I do not like him freshly sheared
I do not like what he just said
I do not like his boxy head
I do not like him wearing glasses
I do not like him greeting kids in classes
I do not like his stupid suits
I do not like his cowboy boots
I do not like him when he sneezes
I do not like him eating cheeses
I do not like him in the leaves
I do not like him when he feeds
I do not like him by a wall
I do not like his tattoo at all
I do not like him in a room
I do not like him in Cancun
I do not like him playing ball
I do not like his face at all

Glad to know Grandpa Munster can still satisfy his wife in bed, except I don’t believe it. Can his family even stand him? Maybe not.
