I don't pay much attention to guys like Ted Cruz.

They are shit stirrers and chronically counter-dependent people and when they get elected they make a big stir and then they are gone. Loudmouths, showboats, know nothings.

His day will come just like all the rest.

But there is something in the air about this guy.

Perhaps it is the incredible transparency of today's media scrutiny. But I don't think so.

He elicits some hate from his closest allies. He is simply not liked. Period.

There are often guys who are difficult and controversial. But some people love them. I, for example, am deeply stirred to the negative by Rudy Guiliani but my friend Youssef in the gym (who also liked George Bush) actually admires Rudy and looks forward to seeing him on the tvs in the gym even though there is no sound. I, on the other hand get enraged at his smarmy smile.

Cruz? No one likes him. I read stories about his behavior to people in the way, in the Congress, everyone.

I even believe some people who arouse my negative passions are interesting and I like to read non-political stuff about them. I will surprise you and say that George W. Bush is one of those people. I really like his post election attitude and, to tell you the truth, what I know of his off line behavior in the White House he was a very likable, affable and generous character. And I believe it. I like reading the stories. His human side.

Not Ted.

Look at this.

Ted? Oh Yeah. Immense Asshole.

I know there are people like this but how do they get elected? How do they get people to work for them? Of course, in life, I have seen that some people do not mind working in an abusive negative space. I don't get it but you can always find a power whore who will go along with it.

I have seen this kind of guy come and go. The vantage point of a geezer. Be patient. He will get his. Maybe he is already getting it.
