Jon Karl: Ted Cruz ‘so hated’ among GOP senators ‘he’s going to need a food taster’ [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | February 16, 2014 | Jamie Weinstein, senior editor

Posted on 02/16/2014 10:17:46 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

ABC chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl says many of Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz’s fellow Republican senators despise him — like, really, totally hate him.

“The Republicans in the Senate had this all set. This was going to be able to pass with only Democratic votes. He stands up, says ‘I’m going to filibuster’, suddenly they need 60 votes,” Karl explained on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday, speaking of last week’s vote to increase the debt ceiling. “I’ll tell you, Ted Cruz is so hated among his Republicans now — more so than even during the shutdown — that at the Tuesday lunch they have, every Tuesday, he’s going to need a food taster.”

Always vote for the person that the mainstreams on both sides hate....

Especially if the mainstreams are both corrupt.

Goes to show you how far out of touch the GOP is with their voter base.

“I’ll tell you, Ted Cruz is so hated among his Republicans now — more so than even during the shutdown — that at the Tuesday lunch they have, every Tuesday, he’s going to need a food taster.”

That’s the way to instill faith in the government. /s

Who wouldn't LOVE to be Obama's "food taster"?

Hmmm...(smack, chew)...YES, this Wagyu beef is a little past medium rare...and this lobster thermidor COULD use a bit more seasoning...(chomp)...(sipping Cristal champagne)...my recommendation?

Send up a well done round steak and a bowl of Rice Krispies.

But make sure the mini bottle of ketchup doesn't have the seal broken.

The President should be safe, I think.

(Glugs down the rest of the champagne)

If we had Cruz in control we could get great mileage of Obama’s failures and yet the GOPe goes after the guy who is Ronald Reagans ideological son.

You got the Chamber of Whores, spending 50 million to go after the Tea Party Patriots, who without the GOPe took over the house from Ms. Pelosi.

Get out of Cruz’s way, and let the Tea Party show you how to take over the Senate.

Cruz to the future.

Jon Karl would like nothing better than to stir up a battle between Tea Party Republicans and the Republican Lite. Divide an conquer. We can have differences among family members, but that is something Lefty journalist should keep their nose out of.

IFF the main stream propagandists were real journalists your story would be a big one. It’s a complete and utter joke to think McCain wants to repeal OCare. presumably he wanted money from you, eh?

They lack something Cruz is very good at conveying: sincerity.

They envy that, because their actions have outed them as being in bed with the political enemies of this country, its Constitution, and its people.

As long as Cruz is in a position to do his thing, he will be showing up that bunch of no-loads, and they, especially the GOPe, will resent it.

He's a threat to their phoney-baloney jobs!
