described Cruz as “the Dwight Schrute of the Senate”

As others have pointed out, Cruz is only in his first term in the Senate, it just feels like he’s been around forever.

Keep? He has run for statewide office exactly once. And in doing so, jumped the cue and pissed off the entire state republican party.

“The guy who microwaves fish” is a hall of fame insult

It’s that saying that in the South, the only way a Republican loses his seat is if they are caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.

100%. I sort of respected Cruz for about 10 minutes for standing up to Trump. then he rolled over. Trump insulted your DAD for petes sake. That will earn you an ass kicking in my house. What an asshole.

As a Texan I have no fucking idea but I really want it to stop. He’s got some seriously loyal supporters and it’s terrrifying. Beto O’Rourke is running against him in 2018 and I certainly hope that he pulls off a miracle.

Power of Jesus, for sure. I have an extended family member who worked on his presidential campaign and she and her family are evangelical, rich, white dickheads.

Bunglecunt! Genius.

Ah, okay.

He’s only been elected once, so you can’t really ask how does he keep getting elected.

To be fair, Cruz learned the Russians had informed Trump of the location of Cruz’s clutch of eggs. He had to protect his hatchlings (although Cruz did eat 3/4s of the resulting swarm as befitting his role and duties as mater to the brood)!

starred on “bunglecunt” alone.

Cruz is just 100% pure uncut asshole; even his family despises him, so...how the hell does he keep getting elected? What platform does he run on? He can’t possibly be getting anything done since every single coworker loathes his face, so what does he hold up in his ads as proof that he’s working for his constituents?…

Thank you for introducing me to the word bunglecunt.

There’s actually a woman on my floor who microwaves fish. I found this line more painful than funny.

In his recent “Fresh Air” interview Franken described Cruz as “the Dwight Schrute of the Senate”.

I bet Lindsey came up with it himself. He’s a smart and clever man. He’s got a flare for the dramatic that can make him insufferable when you’re trying to have a serious conversation about, say, national security. But it gives him a great heart for comedy.

The Lindsey Graham line remains a solid burn. To this day, I wonder who wrote it for him.
