I agree and it would also be satisfying to make fun of him to his melty blob face.
Your last analogy really depends on your views on turds. For some, bigger is better.

That sounds disgusting but wonderful at the same time, as all the truly great foods do.

There is no good kind of Ted Cruz

Oh and the best condiment for fries is obviously gravy and cheese curds, but mayonnaise comes in a close second…
