With so many 'Imagines'

he sounded like John Lennon incarnated, Ted Cruz tried to get his captive (they HAD to be there) student audience to IMAGINE the wonderful world he could create, though in typical Pub fashion he used no specifics, other than abolishing the IRS, which sounds like a great idea to those who don't have a clue, better known as 'his base', who believe his lies, like 'the govt is trying to take our ammunition (bullshit), millions have lost health care, (bullshit, millions MORE have gotten it, health care costs have gone WAY up (the rate of increase has rapidly declined), he would put 110,000 IRS agents to work, 'protecting the border', which is BS in SO many ways, since total employees of the IRS is about 80,000. He disapproved of normalizing relations with Cuba, cuz they are a 'leading sponsor of terrorism'. WTF? Never mind, if you believe Ted Cruz, you're hopeless...

Mr. Cruz’s speech was an exercise in crowd-pleasing dissonance; the contradictions slip by if you’re not paying attention. America is great but needs to be made great again. Privacy is sacrosanct, and government should not get between you and your doctor, unless you’re a woman who wants to avoid or end a pregnancy. As an anti-immigrant immigrant, Mr. Cruz wants to repeal programs that protect some immigrants from deportation, but he has also said that Republicans need to do better with Hispanic voters or risk extinction as a national party. His federalist views are incoherent: he wants states to be free to experiment with marijuana legalization, but attacked Mr. Obama for not cracking down on states that do so. He claims to embrace education, but denies the climate change that 97% of actual climate scientists acknowledge. 

The good thing about Ted Cruz? He is totally unelectable, as he's too far right even for most Republicans. Let him talk, with his slimy, swarmy smile, greasy look and glittering generalities, and push the approx 3-5% of the public (who haven't already made up their minds) away from the Far Rightwingnut fantasy world. In that way, I love him...
