Title: Ted Cruz Is the World’s Most Condescending Elitist

What Cruz doesn't mention is the next step in his father's American Dream: raising a son who would attend the very best schools in America and look down upon everyone else with a nauseating, unthinkable smugness. GQ reports:

The elite academic circles that Cruz was now traveling in began to rub off. As a law student at Harvard, he refused to study with anyone who hadn't been an undergrad at Harvard, Princeton, or Yale. Says Damon Watson, one of Cruz's law-school roommates: "He said he didn't want anybody from 'minor Ivies' like Penn or Brown."

Smugness? What a joke! I don't find Cruz to be condescending at all.

Rand, yes. He talks down to conservatives constantly. It really ticks me off when he does that, and I no longer listen to a word he says because of it. He comes on tv, I change channels. He has flip-flopped too many times. He seems to think he is somehow entitled to the presidency.

He is a spoiler and will syphon off half of the Libertarian vote to deny Cruz or Walker the victory, the ole divide and conquer ruse. 51% of them will vote ONLY for Libertarians masquerading as Republicans. They brag about it when the Republican loses. If they'd joined behind the best conservative candidate with a chance of winning the primary, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in.

Kudos the the 49% that will vote Republican, trying to denying the Democrats and their agendas the chance to further destroy what is left of this nation.

Libertarians hate Republicans more than they hate the Democrats. They are constantly attacking. Libertarians out themselves because they constantly bring up Romney. Why? That was 7 years ago and they still bring up his name every chance they get.

Interesting that. Look at the damage that has occurred in the second Obama administration! Can they seriously believe that a Romney would have been worse? Really? Evil has become so entrenched, we might never be able to turn this nation around. Some victory.

I wish they would turn that criticism on the Democrats and their agenda...but they rarely do. All of their contempt seems to fall on Republicans, even tho the Pauls run on the Republican ticket. If you don't want Jeb to win, wake up. You will be the reason he will be the nominee.

Kudos to Libertarians who have come out in support of Cruz. “I’m a libertarian, and I’m supporting Ted Cruz” That is just one example.)

It is simple jealousy by the lesser candidates. Plenty of Democrats and Rinos in that jealous group as well.

Why is it "elitist" to have attended Harvard Law School. It is the best law dept. in the country. How does attending Harvard Law make him an elitest?

This is nothing but a hit piece, an epic fail at that.

Cruz is a true maverick, unlike McLunatic. He is a constitutionalist, confident, more than competent and runs circles around any of the candidates with his brilliance and knowledge. He is the only candidate that has kept his promises to those who elected him. The only one to do so.

I don't like some of his issues. ie H1B visas are an example. I may end up supporting Walker. That said, the race will be between Walker and Cruz. The rest are simply spoilers who will divide the primary vote so losers like Jeb can slip thru the cracks. "I'll stay home" is the mantra of fools. They would rather see Democrats win than join with others in the primaries to ensure that a decent conservative can win the nomination. That is exactly why we get stuck with losers for candidates. Virginia comes to mind. Remember that? Terry McCauliff? Really?

The lesser gifted are simply jealous of Cruz.

As a follow-up, tomorrow in the state of Kentucky are the primary elections. I'm studying on candidate positions. I do believe in voting even if I leave some of the races blank - due to my own lack of information about which one might be the best candidate. I'm still a registered Pubbie and the big race of for GOP governor candidate - 4 candidates and 3 of them are in the too close to call category.

Lots of mud slinging and attack ads here in the final weeks. Politics is a contact sport in Kentucky.

One guy is running on the platform to eliminate the office and merge it within another department. I think I'll vote for him.
