If "Hell is a half-empty auditorium" as Robert Frost said, then "Lucifer in the flesh" Ted Cruz must have felt right at home in Fort Wayne, Indiana this week.

h/t Driftglass, the so-called "rally" would be sad if it weren't so funny. Come tomorrow morning, will they have Rafael Ted Cruz to kick around anymore? Not in Indiana. Nevermind, the Hoosier State will always have that awesome Hillary Hater "protesting" by himself on the Fort Wayne sidewalk!

Ya think that guy gets a lot of swipe-right on RepublicanPeopleMeet.com?

But seriously...

I know we accurately blame cable news for the rise of Trump. We can also blame the crop of truly pathetic opponents the GOP league sent to the field. It's difficult to know which came first, a political party that gave up on governing, or a leadership in that party so vapid that a know-nothing carnival barker could wipe them all out in their own primaries.
