Ted Cruz (still) has no friends because he is a mean and ugly man deep down

Cruz has until now failed to earn the endorsement of any of his fellow senators, a fact that Donald Trump has beaten him over the head with.

A major conservative publication walking back a report that Ted Cruz was set to receive his first endorsements from any of his colleagues is one of the most narrative-confirming events to take place this campaign since Marco Rubio sat in a chair that was wayyyyyy too big for him. There was a point long ago in this campaign where Cruz, who is universally disliked in the Senate, could have emerged as a credible anti-Trump candidate if only the establishment had been willing to back him. They didn’t. Now, faced in a similar, more hopeless situation, the establishment is again holding out for Rubio when Cruz is increasingly becoming their only hope.

The next time someone in Washington mumbles to a reporter that Ted Cruz has friends, they’re going to want to triple check.

the Bible is the ultimate law of the land. I'd rather have Trump as President (shudder!) than this psycho.

I don't understand how people can crowd around a guy like that. You'd think lions and wolves would have selected that kind of gullibility out of the species by now.

He's not paranoid. It really is a fact, that nobody is his ally. Some fear his crazy, but he has no friends.
