The sad GOP presidential hopeful is sad because campaigning is too hard
Normally when people on the Internet say “So-and-so destroyed so-and-so!” they’re being wildly hyperbolic. But yesterday on Twitter, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts absolutely body bagged fellow senator and presidential hopeful Ted Cruz. He got merc’d. Eviscerated. And Warren took him down with pure, cold facts.
It started on Monday when Cruz sent out a campaign e mail enumerating all the sacrifices entailed in running for the highest office in the land (or at least tripping your way through the process of trying to run for the highest office in the land). “The constant attacks never stop,” he redundantly wrote. “Time with my family is non-existent,” he lamented, as though he didn’t choose to run but was forced to like some Manchurian candidate. But, through it all, he assured his “friends” that he is “willing to make the sacrifices despite – the high cost…”
Well, Senator Warren apparently saw this tear-soaked tissue and decided it was time to clap back with the following string of tweets:
Yesterday @TedCruz sent a campaign email whining about the “significant sacrifice” he’s made to run for President. https://t.co/yKtLpWG0Ou— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1461100694
.@TedCruz whined about facing constant attacks, nonexistent family time, limited health and sleep, and no personal time.— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1461100761
Are you kidding me, @TedCruz? We’re supposed to pity you because trying to be the leader of the free world is hard?! 2 words: Boo hoo.— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1461100793
Know whose health is limited? Workers w/ no paid leave who can't stay home when sick or caring for kids. @TedCruz won't support it.— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1461100821
Don’t hurt him, Elizabeth!
Know whose sleep is limited? Working parents who stay up worrying about getting kids thru college w/o big debt. @TedCruz blocked #refi.— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1461100845
Know who gets no personal time? People who work 2 min wage jobs to support their families. @TedCruz opposes giving them a raise.— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1461100876
Know who gets no family time, @TedCruz? Moms w/ unfair schedules who drop kids at daycare & find their hrs cancelled. @GOP won't help.— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1461100903
Know who’s facing "constant attacks," @TedCruz? Hardworking American immigrants, Muslims, LGBT folks, women. Your constant attacks.— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1461100935
Someone ring the damn bell! She’s going to kill him!
And @TedCruz? Working people work more, get paid less, can't save, get mistreated, struggle with illness & family - but they don't whine.— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1461100962
They don't throw tantrums or try to shut down their workplace because they don't get their way - & then turn around & demand promotions.— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1461100995
You chose to run for President, @TedCruz. You chose to make your “sacrifices.” Working people don't have a choice.— Elizabeth Warren (@Elizabeth Warren) 1461101023
And then in the 12th round she delivered the final punch:
Ding ding ding ding ding! The winner by knockout, from the blue corner, is Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massechusetts. We suspect Ted Cruz is somewhere recovering from his inuries today. It’s too bad the Cruz family has to see him this way. But you totally had this one coming.
