Ted Cruz apparently hasn’t gotten tired of losing yet
We often speak of Gold Medal winners. But we do not always talk enough about the silver medal winners. Surely these folks need some love too. And surprise! One runner-up is speaking out about his — well — being a runner-up.
And what he is saying is quite entertaining at the very least. Palmer Report readers I present — Mr. Ted “Cancun” Cruz! It would seem Mr. Cruz thinks of himself as the runner-up to Trump in the 2016 Presidential election. I think of Ted Cruz as the last moron who refused to get out of the race — not necessarily the same thing.
But be that as it may, Mr. Cruz is talking. He is talking about his hopes, his fears, his dreams. And one of his dreams seems to involve the White House. Speaking to the Truth Gazette, Cruz responded to a question about whether he might take another run at the big prize.
“Absolutely. In a heartbeat,” said Mr. Cruz. Sometimes these articles just write themselves. Mr. Cruz insisted he is uniquely qualified to win the nomination. Here’s why:
“There’s a reason historically that the runner-up is almost always the next nominee. And that’s been true going back to Nixon or Reagan or McCain or Romney that has played out repeatedly.”
“I ended up being second,” explained the mariachi fan, referring to 2016.
This news — that Ted Cruz would consider himself worthy of the Republican nomination is lovely! I’d sort of like to see him try it.
The reason I’d like to (sort of) see Cruz go for the gold is because it would be like taking candy from a baby. And not to mention Eric Swalwell’s running commentary. This could be great fun.
When Biden runs in 2024, if he were up against Cruz, it would be like witnessing a race between a vivid and lovable dolphin vs. — Freddy Krueger. And who knows? With that kind of race, we might just win every state in the country.
