As they say, a broken clock should be rendered into individual pieces and distributed to local repair shops.

Wild to see Ted Cruz in the "Don't mess with the Mouse" camp. Once bitten, twice shy?

To be fair to Rafael (which, of course, makes me vomit a little) he made this statement last time too.

He is on the wrong side of literally everything else and should be fired (from a cannon, into the sun), but credit where due, he’s constant on this point.

He's got a few other good takes. Like he supports term limits for members of congress.

Honestly it just shows that he's willing to stand up against the fascist party when he disagrees with it. Which means he really genuinely agrees with all the fascism. He's not an opportunist. He's a fascist for the love of the game.

cancun cruz to distract from his political woes, of escaping texas everytime there is a disaster in texas.

Cruz is growing a spine from all the sunshine in Cancun

he goes to cancun to molt his skin like lizard, and to avoid being called the ZODIAC killer.

No, hes just trying to make himself popular. If anything he probably wants to abolish the fcc, which is a stupid thing to do. It just needs to be managed differently and not be as fascist as it is now

Let's be honest here, there is a 0% chance that this comes from any sort of moral standard Cruz holds. He's just blowing smoke in the hopes that it'll hide that he's still sucking off (the tremendously unpopular) Trump.
