Politicians have been known to do a lot of things to get elected. They usually cater and pander to a group of people who they think will have the best chance at casting a vote in their favor. In the case of Republican presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz, those hes decided to cater to are the residents of Idiot America.
Cruz has decided to go all in trying to get the ultra-religious, absent from reality, guns and God group of folks who love to hunt, hate gay people and live far away from populated areas. People otherwise known as extreme, right-wing Republicans.
Perfectly pandering to this demographic, Cruz paired himself up with Duck Dynasty and their bigot-in-chief Phil Robertson. Robertson is about as anti-gay and bigoted as one could ever hope to be, so of course hes now endorsed one of the leading bigot candidates running for president Ted Cruz.
In a new campaign commercial for Cruz, Robertson, with his face painting black camo for hunting, tells everyone the qualifications he wants to see in a president:
Is he or she godly? Does he or she love us? Can he or she do the job? And finally, would they kill a duck and put em in a pot and make up a good duck gumbo? Ive looked at the candidates. Ted Cruz is my man.

I'm just shocked none of the candidates has grown one of those ridiculous huge beards yet.
