All aboard for the Ted Cruz Express.

"MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — Sen. Ted Cruz urged archconservatives on Sunday to help nominate a Republican from their own ranks in 2016 or risk losing a third consecutive national election. The unspoken message: someone like him."

Ted is so right. The Republicans should elect someone like him, a McCarthy-like right-winger, full of accusations, bitter, angry, too deceptive to use his real name, Rafael. The sure way to win the presidency in a country of Hispanics, African Americans, Asians, gays, and women, women, women is to elect a male chauvinist, deport-crazy, bible-thumping, soul-selling, execution-loving loose cannon.  He's correct: McCain and Romney were terrible choices. We won't even go into the Palin disaster. But there is one choice that could even be more of a train wreck: rattle snake, Rafael Cruz.
