I also like twitter. I agree that re-posts of news articles, or your expression of grief that David Bowie died are not useful. However, first-hand posts of facts without the filter of a news article are great. This guy is a witness to Ted Cruz’s college freshman behavior, and he’s reporting the events as he saw them many years ago. That’s interesting to me. It gives me insight into whether or not I want to vote for Cruz. There is no filter; it’s up to me to determine whether what he is saying is credible or not.
I read through this guy Mazin’s twitter feed. There are no specifics about why Ted Cruz is an a**hole. He says Cruz used the snooze button a lot, which I guess could be annoying. Other than that, nothing, other than just repeating over and over again what a jerk Cruz is. Was he cruel? Was he violent? Did he lie? Did he cheat? None of that. I suspect the real jerk is Mazin, who obviously has an opposite worldview compared to Cruz. I imagine Princeton probably had a 10-1 liberal to conservative ratio, and no doubt Ted Cruz was not shy about speaking his mind. No wonder they didn’t like him.
Something else I learned in the Twitter feed. There’s a link to someone from Cruz’s high school, who posted something out of Cruz’s high school yearbook. Apparently, he wanted to be President as far back as high school, and he was part of some kind of Constitutional club in high school. After reading this, I have concluded I like Cruz even more than I did before.
He’s been bitching about his ex-college roommate of decades ago now FOR AT LEAST THREE F**ING YEARS that is NOT news.
