The last time we heard from Ted Cruz he was supporting Donald Trump and extinguishing the last embers of what may have constituted his “integrity.” Before that he was play-acting his best version of a Texan man, poking his finger at Donald Trump via video, for calling his wife ugly. Last night, talking to reporters about Clinton and Obamacare, he decided to try to turn a joke and hit two birds with one dumb stone.
One of the places we visited was a dairy farm. We’re driving along in the farmer’s truck and he says “You know how many employees I got?” And I said, “No. How many?” He says 49. “You know why I have 49?” I said, “Yes, I do. Because Obamacare kicks in at 50.” You know there’s actually a name for people like that? They’re called 49ers—and I don’t mean knuckleheaded quarterbacks who don’t understand the National Anthem. This is a total digression, but I think that rich spoiled athlete ought to give all of his money to take care of fallen police officers.
Besides sounding vaguely racist, “Don’t understand the National Anthem,” what does that even mean? I always love when a wealthy guy tells other people that they should give all of their money to someone else. No, Ted, why don’t you give all of your money to fallen officers? Why haven’t you done that? Ted, do you hate the police and apple pie and the colors that never run?
