Ted Cruz’s 2016 Campaign Has Already Made Two Blunders



It’s not news that the smirk known as Ted Cruz is running for president. It’s all over the news today – and will be for about a week – but we’ve all known everything for months. If you were really paying attention, you’ve known it since at least January 2013 when Cruz stepped into Kay Bailey Hutchison’s former Senate office.

What’s the news, that he’s getting in before the other candidates? You’ll hear a lot about how he’s been out of the spotlight while the early coverage flows to Jeb and Scott. In March 2013, ‘spotlight’ is a concept that exists only in the beltway and in the armchairs of political junkies nationwide. This is about getting money as fast as possible.

Hilariously, his campaign has already made two noticeable blunders. First, they failed to secure TedCruz.com, a site that greets visitors with a simple page saying ‘SUPPORT PRESIDENT OBAMA. IMMIGRATION REFORM NOW!’. That’ll be fun for the thousands checking in on the new presidential campaign Internet digs today.

The second is that Ted Cruz’s logo looks like a burning American flag. It also looks like a recolored Al Jazeera logo. Classy move all around, Team Cruz! It’s hard to blame them, of course. They’ve only known the man is going to run for president for years.

Maybe Cruz wants to burn the USA and make Texas the seat of power? Sounds about right. Gonna be fun seeing which Republican candidate hates the USA so much that they get the nomination.

also looks like an old natural gas logo from years back... I suspect that since he's married to Wall St. and is the guy in charge of climate change denial and killing scientific inquiry, I think a natural gas logo fits. W had a swoosh that was strikingly similar to the swoosh and star found to be the logo of electricity companies affiliated with ENRON.

Is that where he was anointed?

anoint
[uh-noint]
verb (used with object)
1. to rub or sprinkle on; apply an unguent, ointment, or oily liquid to.
2. to smear with any liquid.
3. to consecrate or make sacred in a ceremony that includes the token applying of oil:
He anointed the new high priest.
4. to dedicate to the service of God


Just sayin'

I thought that with as much money as he earns that he should be able a pair of Levi's that doesn't have a hole in that particular location like a poor guy like me has. It is somewhat strange that my Levi's seem to get holes around that spot, but much like my college alma mater TxT has a generous endowment.
