Cruz Not Having A Good Day
First, Fled Cruz got stampeded during the Covid bill negotiations. He kept insisting that the bill would allow undocumented immigrants to get funds. He was repeatedly told by everyone that it would not.
And then it got worse …
Literally about a dozen senators are standing, pacing around the back of the room at any given time. Several others look like they're about to fall asleep. We're nearing the end, and these senators are Ready.

But that wasn’t all that there was to his day.
The Princeton Debate Club bitch slapped him.
Princeton University’s American Whig-Cliosophic Society voted to rescind the James Madison Award for Distinguished Public Service awarded to Cruz, a member of the Class of 1992.
It was the first time that the society voted to take back the award, according to the Daily Princetonian, which first reported the decision.
Geeezzz … being kicked out the Princeton Debate Society – that right there’s gonna leave a mark.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
It would have been better had the Princeton Debate Club instead awarded Fled Cruz an honorary degree for his achievements in advancing the interests of rich elitists…
1The Whig DNA has been firmly ensconced in every GOP Politician for a long time. Remember Stanley Tucci getting his head handed to him?
Gupta: “There was a twenty men. Immigration guns was drawn. The Dicks was ready to fire!” To kill the little man with the pills. But then someone walks into the room and stands in front of this little man. “Put the guns away.” The man say: “Nobody will die today.”
Airport staff voices: “Tell us Gupta, who was it?”
Gupta: “Navorski, Viktor, “The Goat” “NAVORSKI!

2Trump just kicked the GOP to the curb. Cease and desist from using him for Party fund-raising. He will choose who gets his aid !!
3the republicans in 1865 – with malice towards none, and charity for all.
4Ted Cruz (and all republican members of congress) this week -with malice towards all and charity for none.
Elise Stefanik R NY 21 was disinvited as an advisor at Harvard for her role on Jan 6.
5She is a moral coward.
Maybe teddy should be forced to read the entire bill before he can leave dee cee again. Now if the voters of texas would be as brave as the debate society and not vote for him ever again. However, probably not even trying to overthrow the election or encouraging insurrection would stop texas voters returning another idiot to congress.
6Nope, having that award yanked is going to be touted by Rafael as a sign that he is a victim of Cancel Culture, that antifa and BLM are out to get him, and by the way, donate some money to him so that he can continue to bravely fight against the socialist attack against him.
It’s the best thing that could happen to him.
My complaint is why the Hades was he given it in the first place? From the linked article “Cruz was given the award in 2016”. Was it a consolation prize for sucking up to T**** after having his wife called ugly and his father a co-assassin of Kennedy?
BTW, it’s not yet been rescinded. “The result will be passed on to the Whig-Clio Board of Trustees, who will decide whether to officially revoke Cruz’s award.”
7Now if something can be done about the Federalist Society!
8The reply to any of the QOP dropping their latest victim card, cancel culture, should be a resounding: “it’s long overdue.”

When I was a lad playing baseball at ASU, we were taught “when you charge the mound, bring the bat.” I would not teach that to our sons, and we’d remove them from any Little League or school team that did. It’s called evolvement. Unlike the QOP who are hellbent on devolving back to the odious days of slavery for blacks, chattel property for women and children, and indentured servitude for the poor and immigrants.
9As a former debater, I’m amused by the Princeton society’s move on Cruz. As I recall, he was awarded because he used to be a debater and had gone on to prominence, publicly using his debate skills. Obviously, in 5 years, the voting population changed and … so did Ted.
One competitor described him this way in a 2016 article:
“There was no casual conversation with Ted Cruz,” Levine said. “I remember him being completely competitive, laser-focused on winning and not on socializing.” She continued: “His conservatism, added to his calculated nature, added to his antisocial behavior, created this persona that was a bit of a villain. Now, did he want that? Maybe. He certainly kept winning rounds. It worked for him.”
Perhaps now, we are coming to understand the shelf life of a self-assured, calculating, anti-social individual.
10Princeton awarded a degree to that dolt?
I used to think Princeton was a pretty good college.
11Being selected by the Whig-Cliosophic society in the first place was a pretty small honor. Never heard of it.
12john in denver @10 Thanks for the tidbit on the competitors insight off Cruz but normal people would call that behavior ‘bullying’.
