“Ohhhh, now I get it.
That wasn’t a fight, that is Sen. Cruz dishing out a spanking...”

Tonite , David Letterman said, “Ya’all have heard of the crazy Republican Senator, Ted Cruz, right?”.

Tens of millions of sheeple saw that, only a few of million know what Cruz was doing, and why, and only a couple of million even know anything he said.

The “CRAZY TEA PARTIER!!!” meme is being set, and we haven’t anything to fight back with. We lost control of the language a long time ago.

It’s the future of the GOP trying to drag the past GOP along with it. And the future is winning!

Cruzade.

Not so far off of "Crusade" as the root is from Spanish cruzada and Middle French croisade both meaning "cross."

(I know geeky and trivial, but it's great for a nickname!)
