"The Most Miserable Sonuvabitch on the Planet"

John Boehner had the right of it. Cruz is nothing more than a Mk1-Mod0 demagogue.

As Senator Ted Cruz of Texas seeks every possible edge to stop Donald J. Trump, he has seized on a once-obscure issue with a proven power to inflame conservatives: letting transgender women use women’s bathrooms.

Mr. Cruz mentions it constantly in Indiana, a state with many social conservatives that is all but a last stand for him in his fight to deprive Mr. Trump of the Republican presidential nomination.

Attacking a small, powerless subset of the population and demonizing them for political gain is about as despicable as it gets. This is the "Willie Horton" ad, three decades later. It'd be political suicide, these days, to go around insinuating that black men are being let out of prison so they can rape white women. So now it's "transgenders are going to rape your daughters in the shitter."

Right. And nobody gets at all upset about white pedophiles using the bathrooms in stadiums or shopping malls. Did you see anyone screaming about white Republican men using public bathrooms after Larry Craig was arrested? Were there any calls (other than snarky ones) to ban Republicans from using public bathrooms? Or Catholic priests?

Nope. There sure as hell wasn't.

This is rancid demagoguery. "Lucifer in the flesh" is understating the matter of the lack of character of Rafael T. Cruz.

Cruz is younger than I am. So what I plan to do is buy some high-quality vials, fill them with urine, and instruct my executor to pay someone to pour them on his grave.
