Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas took a few tongue-in-cheek shots at former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in Iowa Friday, saying in contrast to the first Republican presidential debate, he was pretty sure the first Democratic debate would consist of Hillary Clinton and the Chipotle clerk.
(snip)
We cant forget about Bernie Sanders, he said, referring to the Vermont senator who is also running for president on the Democratic side. So now the Democratic field consists of a wild-eyed socialist with ideas that are dangerous for America and the world. And, Bernie Sanders.

I thought they were extremely funny. Debate invitations were all mailed to... Hillary Clinton, thus the delay. That was good.

Saw a bunch of Bernie signs here in Indiana yesterday.

I said some, the Chipotle clerk one for me didn’t even register as funny. The wild eyed socialist one fell apart.
The server one was the only one I actually laughed at.

Glad to see he is taking potshots at Hillary.
To: maggief
Wouldn’t be much of a debate because the Chipotle cashier would mop the floor with her. Who cares if Cruz’s joke wasn’t great. I’m more concerned with that joke of a Democratic Party that has sent this nation to the edge of social and especially economic ruin.

Don't discount old Bernie. He has quite a lot of appeal among the free stuff crowd and the commie indoctrinated youth. If Hillary is indicted or otherwise falls by the wayside, Bernie could emerge as the Democrat frontrunner.
To: AmericanCheeseFood
I didn’t get the clerk joke. But the “wild eyed socialist” one got me, I confess. lol

He has quite a lot of appeal among the free stuff crowd and the commie indoctrinated youth. Methinks the Right dangerously underestimates how "quite a lot" of appeal that is. He is staggeringly popular, saying everything the Hard Left (to wit: the young voting mainstream) holds dear (from free tuition & healthcare to PP selling parts) and which the Old Left (to wit: Hillary!) is still terrified to say (in part because they know it's socioieconomically untenable).
We may very well see Cruz vs Sanders. Popcorn?

I thought Trump saying that everyone was sleeping at the Jeb Bush rally was funny too.

I like that he is able to use humor and not be crude.
