Ted Cruz takes his 'derp state' gospel to establishment Washington

Okay that's not what the article says but I couldn't resist changing the title.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During a quick swing through Washington, Sen. Ted Cruz took time Tuesday to tout his belief that the so-called deep state within the Treasury and State departments is working to confound the Trump administration’s efforts to end the Iran nuclear deal.

After presiding over an uneventful pro forma session at the Senate, the Texas Republican spoke at an event at the Hudson Institute focused on foreign policy and tensions between conservatives who believe in intervention and those who take a more isolationist approach.

“I'm here to tell you the deep state is alive and well,” he told a packed room at the conservative think tank.

Those sharing Cruz’s belief in the deep state say there is a body of career civil servants within federal agencies who hold extreme loyalty to the Obama administration and are involved in secret manipulation of the government to thwart President Donald Trump’s policies and agenda.

Why are you so supportive of Trump Ted? Your dad said you were the chosen one a few years ago and now Trump's trying to steal your title.
