Ted Cruz's Secret Santa

Ted Cruz is not a normal politician: Ted Cruz is a power-junkie who discovered early that wrapping himself in the mantle of McCarthyite wingnut apocalyptic prophet has 100% upside and zero downside at the Inbred Rube end of the political spectrum where the GOP lives now.

You know the one thing you never want to hand a McCarthyite wingnut apocalyptic prophet?  Any opening to grab the microphone and tell his acolytes, "See!  I foresaaaaaaw this!"  That is a pony a McCarthyite wingnut apocalyptic prophet can ride for miles and miles.

And that is the gift that Senator Windsock McCain --

Senator John McCain now favors complete repeal of Obamacare, after months of rejecting it as “not rational” and a “false premise” by Senate Republicans.

Beck relentlessly mocked the “mavericky maverick” for trashing people like Ted Cruz when they wanted complete repeal, only to turn around and embrace it when the political winds shifted. Beck asked, “He’s not a wacko bird saying we should repeal this thing, is he?” 

He not-so-subtly accused McCain of only embracing complete repeal now because he’s just that opportunistic.
