Video: Ted Cruz vs. Low-IQ Trumpkin
It’s a perfect metaphor for the whole primary season. Facts, logic, and reason vs. . . . a totally uninformed voter. You know those yutzes who Jimmy Kimmel talks to on Hollywood Boulevard — the ones who know who Snooki is, but can’t name the vice-president, or any two of the three branches of government? This Trumpkin makes those people look like a cross between Stephen Hawking and that guy who can solve the Rubik’s Cube in 12 seconds while holding it above his head.
It’s a long clip, but I’ll summarize and paraphrase it:
TRUMPKIN: What you gonna do about our Second Amendment!
CRUZ: I have fought for the Second Amendment and other constitutional rights my whole life, while Trump says he hates guns and will put a leftist on the Supreme Court.
TRUMPKIN: Lyin’ Ted! He has a mistress! Trump gonna build a wall!
Do not accuse me of exaggerating until you have seen the whole thing.
UPDATE: Whoops. Dana already posted about this. Well, now you get to see what we both said about it. But comment on her post.
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
We couldn’t, Mr. Franklin. I’m sorry.
