MSNBC personality Donny Deutsch said during an appearance Monday on “Morning Joe” that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) may have gained a reputation as a “smart guy” but has shown in office that he’s actually “dumb.”
Deutsch tore into the GOP lawmaker just hours before Cruz announced a run for President.
“Everybody keeps saying he’s a smart guy, but this is a guy who basically is saying that climate change is not a fact,” Deutsch said. “That’s not smart! That’s dumb. That’s ignorance.”
Earlier in the segment, Deutsch described Cruz as “completely unelectable.”
“Basically, he’s accomplished nothing,” Deutsch said. “He’s involved, I think, in two bills. He had a vote in the Senate last Saturday that had 22 votes. He’s an obstructionist. He brings no new ideas to the table other than ‘No,’ and I think this country is tried of that.”
Watch below via MSNBC. Deutsch’s remarks start at about 1:40:
Donny, Donny, Donny… While you are right, you are no one to comment on what is “dumb.” Need I remind you of your mullet and speedo phase in life?
From Donny to Ted, from one mutt to another.
Ted Cruz isn’t dumb…he just acts dumb for the Base. He’s really rather smart and shrewd…after all, he’s doing this so he can get very rich.
There’s dumb and there’s dumb. I must have watched the film “Trading Places” at least 3 times. And I still do not completely understand precisely how the boys bilked Randolph and Mortimer Duke at the Stock Market. I was never remotely good at business. On the other hand, any of the Business majors who took my classes as electives could recite it in their sleep. We all have our specialties.
Cruz has a gift, similar to that of Rand Paul, for dissembling. His aptitude for it is equal to that of Miles Davis on Trumpet.
But neither Miles nor Ted would ever make a competent United States President.
When just being rich isn’t enough.
