Is Ted Cruz Stupid?

I have heard a lot of things about the junior senator from the great state of Texas, Ted Cruz….and I know that everyone else has heard the rumblings….but the question still stands….Is Ted Cruz cray?

He comes off as a bit of a whack-a-doodle with his willingness top shut down government and his extreme hatred for Obamacare…he is like a Pit Bull with a leg bone………that is until recently when he seem to back peddle on his threats and bolster….and then there is his other quirks, if you like that word…..

For its upcoming edition, GQ profiles controversial Tea Party Republican and possible Canadian Ted Cruz. It’s a long one, full of colorful anecdotes about the man in the ostrich-skin cowboy boots, so we’ve plucked out some of the highlights:

  • Cruz has embraced the “Wacko Bird” nickname bestowed on him by John McCain—a baseball cap emblazoned with the title next to a picture of Daffy Duck given to him by supporters in Texas is one of his prized possessions.
  • In his office, Cruz has a giant oil painting of himself delivering his first argument before the Supreme Court. “I’ve always enjoyed the fact that as I’m sitting at my desk, I’m looking at a giant painting of me getting my rear end whipped 9-0,” he says. “It is helpful for keeping one grounded.”
  • Cruz loves to tell the story of how his father came to the US at 18 as a Cuban immigrant with only $100 sewn into his underwear, and bootstrapped his way to the American dream. He doesn’t so much enjoy talking about how his father’s gas and oil exploration business went bankrupt in the ’80s. When author Jason Zengerle brings it up, he says Cruz’s “face fell and he grew quiet” before sighing and acknowledging the story.
  • One of his former college roommates says Cruz is an Ivy League snob. While studying law at Harvard, he refused to study with anyone who hadn’t done their undergraduate degree at Harvard, Princeton, or Yale. “He said he didn’t want anybody from ‘minor Ivies’ like Penn or Brown,” says the roommate. He also wore his old crimson Harvard robe to give a commencement speech at a different university earlier this year.
  • Cruz was not popular amongst his colleagues while working on W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign. One source says he regularly sent out group emails detailing his personal accomplishments, akin to “the cards people send about their families at Christmas, except Ted’s were only about him and were more frequent.”

Then we ask again…Is he stupid?

This man may be a lot of things but stupid is NOT one of them!

If not stupid, what’s up with this dude?

His efforts so far is all about him……he must massage his ego….and in doing that he has expanded his base, donor base and voter…….it is never about him governing it is about him positioning himself for what he feels he was born to be…..president!

The problem is…his appeal is to political haters and that is NOT a winning presidential formula………

So, he is not stupid, he is way too clever for his own good……..he is an egotist and a loser…..PERIOD!
