Rep. Peter King, Republican of New York, wins the "Don't Sugarcoat It" Award for Tuesday in his appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe:

"In case anybody is confused: I am not endorsing Ted Cruz. I hate Ted Cruz. I think I'd take cyanide if Ted Cruz got the nomination."

This about a candidate who insisted just yesterday that he, as President, will have a very "productive and positive relationship with Congress."

Pass the popcorn.
