Lest anyone miss that he is running far to the right and smack-dab in the middle of the religious rightwingers, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) went to Liberty University yesterday to announce that he is running for president.
The assembly was packed with students -- some of whom were wearing Rand Paul t-shirts. Turns out that this evangelical Christian college, founded by Rev. Jerry Falwell, requires attendance at an assembly three days a week. Students are fined if they do not attend.
That's a nice touch, don't you think? Cruz announces his candidacy to lead the world's foremost democracy before an audience that was commanded to appear. Sounds like North Korea. Except that they didn't shoot those few who dissented by wearing those Rand Paul campaign shirts.
Way to go, Ted. May you continue to blunder all the way through the GOP debate season. I just ask one thing: please don't shut down our government again. A lot of people suffer when you do that.
