It always amazes me how a seemingly huge block of voters out there (i.e. Republican voters) champion ignorance about their candidate’s actual record. Not that they’d EVER change their mind about any of them (Once that mind is already made up, that’s it. To actually change a thought would be considered a weakness. See George W. Bush), but everyone’s seemingly forgotten how radical and unqualified Ted Cruz is for the office he seeks.
Lets take a quick look at his voting record:

Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2016

ANYTHING REGARDING HIS RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOMINATIONS OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, JUDGES, OR ANY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE FOR THAT MATTER
Voted NAY on everything.
And that’s really about it. This man has a very slim record in Senate. His mantra seems to really be that anything related to government or the good of the people (i.e. both the point of having a government at all) are anathema to him.
Similarly, it also allows him to avoid any critical thinking, any research, or any effort whatsoever of doing the FUCKING JOB he is being paid to do in the Senate.
In short, THE MAN HAS DONE NOTHING IN THE JOB HE SUGGESTS QUALIFIES HIM FOR THE COUNTRY’S TOP OFFICE. NOTHING.
This man, as we all know, has been no better than Marco Rubio at being lazy on the job and somehow expecting his presence in that position as justification enough for him to run this country. Unbelievable.
But, then again, lets face it — The ignorance of the GOP is all consuming and their voters are worst of the worst this country has to offer. For all their bluster, chest pumping, and certainty, they are never more than willfully ignorance scared little mice who somehow believe doing nothing is worth celebrating.
