Dude, There Are People Who Will Still Pose With Anthony Weiner
Ken Cuccinelli thinks he’s too sexy for Ted Cruz.
In the clearest sign yet of the potent effect of the government shutdown on the Virginia governor’s race, Republican Ken Cuccinelli avoided being photographed with Ted Cruz at a gala they headlined here Saturday night—even leaving before the Texas senator rose to speak.
It’s math. Although Cuccunelli is down 5 points in the Virginia gubernatorial race, Cruz is down to 10 points. I mean total. All he’s got is 10 approval points. Hell, ebola virus has 15 approval percentage points.
Politico also reports that Cruz spoke for 54 minutes, which means his approval rating dropped 3 more points.
If it gets any lower, Louie Gohmert won’t pose with him. Oh hell, what am I saying? Cruz could fall in a sewer and Gohmert would jump in for a photo op.
Thanks to Sandra for the heads up and John for the graphic.
If The Cooch won’t be seen with him, then Ted is dead meat to the Republican Party. Forget his ‘in’ with the tea baggers, he’s roadkill when he comes up for re-election.
1Isn’t it odd that the more clearly the Republicans explain their agenda, the fewer people support them? One could almost conclude that the American people do not support the Republican’s true agenda. (Of course, if the Republicans lie about their agenda, as they normally do…)
2Personally, I think Ted Cruz is a Butt Head, but I think we would all lose some serious sleep if that ever got translated into an actual graphic…
I can just almost see the little spittle things on the screen when Peter King talks about TC. Hope they turn on Cruz but good.
3I ride a type of old BMW motorcycle referred to as an airhead. It has a lot more integrity than Carnival Cruz.
4I am breathing easier now that I know Cruz’s approval ratings are way down. Whew.
5Yes, but is Cruz’s approval rating 10 points in his own district? That’s the problem– everybody else can’t stand these goobers, but their own districts keep sending them back.
6When Ken Cuccinelli avoids you and Miley Cyrus makes fun of you, you need to ask yourself if maybe you’re being a little bit ridiculous.
7Ted Cruz is a dangerous demagogue. Unless y’all can recall him, he’ll have five more years to changes his spots, stripes, whatever, until he fills the bill for some yokels. Grandstanders, opportunists, liars and ‘patriots’ seem to be the chosen ones among the lo-info voting crowd.
8Hey, the Tedster could always be sucked out of the Senate. There has to be some wacko “think tank” outfit in the stratosphere who would make him their chief executive with an Everest sized pile of cash. It work on DeMint and several others over the years. Heck, he might end up making as much or more than his wife does at Goldman Sachs.
9Maggie,let that wait until Wendy gets elected guv and then she can appoint a human being to replace it.
10Trying to extort the President of the United States has to be one of the dumbest tricks they have ever pulled. Hope all the polls are right, that even in Texas, the congresscritters are going to lose over this.
