Richard Dreyfuss searches for the "Old Republican Party" at Cruz rally. Yeah, THAT should work.

Richard Dreyfuss: Actor Attends Ted Cruz Rally, Says He's In Search of 'Old Republican Party'

McCain was insufficiently rabid against his opponent Obama and took flak for that. And that was even before the never-ending freakout of having a black guy in the White House.

He sat next to me at a state convention of delegates.

I'm sure his curiosity led him over to the death eaters camp.

..., seeing it for himself, no words of support, and that "old Republican Party" line may be subtle trolling.
