I have figured out why Ted Cruz is so low in the polls.  I mean, other than the fact that he’s a sanctimonious jerk who ain’t as smart as he thinks he is and he grates on people’s nerves when he speak.

I think the real problem is that he thinks it’s 2012 and Obama is running for President.

It has gotten this ridiculous: Asked about Ben Carson’s view that Muslims can’t be President, Cruz blamed it on Obama.

Yeah, I’m serious.

“I like Ben Carson. I think Ben is fantastic. I think a lot of people are just using this as an opportunity to smack him with a stick. My view is straightforward,” Cruz said. “The Constitution says there shall be no religious test for holding public office, and I’m a constitutionalist, but I think this whole noise is obscuring the broader question.”

“The broader question, and what I think Ben was trying to get at, is what are the consequences been in the last six and a half years of the Obama presidency?” Cruz stated.

What?

Good Lord, I’ve seen a dog with a clothes pen on its tail not spin that much.

President Obama did not force Ben Carson to spread the Constitution.  I’m pretty sure of that.

I personally think that Cruz is in for the long haul.  All he wants to do in life is give speeches and if he leaves the campaign trail, he’s reduced to speaking to an empty senate chamber.
