Sad Ted Cruz working the phone bank for Donald Trump may be the most pathetic thing you will see all day.

Courtesy of the Washington Post: 

If you were asked to imagine a portrait of a man swallowing his pride, it might look a lot like this picture of Ted Cruz. 

The Dallas Morning News shot some video of Cruz phone-banking for Republicans on Wednesday.

By Thursday, the video was making the rounds on Twitter, as people poked fun at the idea of Cruz making calls for a man who attacked his wife on multiple occasions and suggested his father might have been involved in the John F. Kennedy assassination.

You might notice that Cruz can't quite bring himself to actually mention Trump's name.

All he can do is urge the person on the other end of the line to come out and vote, for exactly who he will not specify.

Actually now that I think about it I am not at all convinced there was even somebody on the other end of that line, which means that Cruz was really only talking to himself and a making a video of it because he was forced to by Trump and the Republican party.

You know if it were possible for me to feel anything toward Ted Cruz other than a deep seated sense of loathing, I might feel sorry for the Zodiac Killer. (As some people call him.)

    I wonder how Mrs. Cruz feels about her husband licking Trump's shoes after Trump stepped all over Mrs. Cruz's face.

    Same with the kids, daddy isn't your friend the bad man who talked bad about mommy?

    Ted Cruz wants to run for president in 2020 and doesn't want the GOP backing Pence in 2020

    I despise Cruz with a passion. Watching this video, his mannerisms alone made my skin crawl. Thanks a lot Gryph. Is it too early for vodka? Nah, I live in Ne-vah-da. Cheers!

    To have pride is to also have shame. Since Ted Cruz is basically shameless, nothing here to swallow. See?

    The Trump Tape (brings back memories of the Watergate) have Trump saying "I tried to f*ck her".

    If only, if only, if only someone would ask Ted Cruz if he lets Donnie Trump near his daughters.

    It's definitely wrong to say Sarah Palin is the cause of the political turmoil and why people don't trust either party's candidates. Shes been saying from day 1 the disgust and distrust with stupid politicos is far reaching. And these aren't racists. Obama is slick. He has protection. He's been coached in how to manipulate people and use his surrounding. If you're one of the intelligent democrats and not a biased, immoral blogger, you see that.

    ALL people want is the status quo to end. For government that businesses and individuals pay good money for to use it wisely.

      Well, today it's Trump not Palin in the political turmoil.

      Trump is slick. "I tried to f*ck her" and p*ssy grabbing is today's headline news from Trump.

      "disgust and distrust" are well-deserved. ALL people want is for the Trump Campaign to end.

    BREAKING NEWS TED CRUZ
    KEEP HEIDI AND YOUR DAUGHTER AWAY FROM DONALD TRUMP THE MAN YOU ARE CAMPAIGNING FOR

    Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005
    By David A. Fahrenthold PoliticsOctober 7 at 4:01 PM

    Donald Trump bragged in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation caught on a hot microphone — saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do it” — according to a video obtained by The Washington Post....

    At that point in the audio, Trump and Bush appear to notice Arianne Zucker, the actress who is waiting to escort them into the soap opera set.

    “Your girl’s hot as s---, in the purple,” says Bush, who’s now a co-host of NBC’s “Today” show.

    “Whoa!” Trump says. “Whoa!”

    “I’ve gotta use some tic tacs, just in case I start kissing her,” Trump says.“You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful -- I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.”

    “And when you’re a star they let you do it,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”

    “Whatever you want,” says another voice, apparently Bush’s.

    “Grab them by the p---y,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”...

    And THIS is the foul mouthed cretin that Cruz is shilling for:

    ...The tape obtained by the Post includes audio of Bush (Billy Bush of “Access Hollywood”)and Trump’s conversation inside the bus, as well as audio and video once they emerge from it to begin shooting the segment.

    In that audio, Trump discusses a failed attempt to seduce a woman, whose full name is not given in the video.

    “I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it,” Trump is heard saying. It was unclear when the events he was describing took place. The tape was recorded several months after he married his third wife, Melania.

    “Whoa,” another voice said.

    “I did try and f--- her. She was married,” Trump says.

    Trump continues: “And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.’”

    “I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married,” Trump says. “Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.”

    At that point in the audio, Trump and Bush appear to notice Arianne Zucker, the actress who is waiting to escort them into the soap opera set.

    “Your girl’s hot as s---, in the purple,” says Bush, who’s now a co-host of NBC’s “Today” show.

    We know Donald Trump had a rough week last week, and now that we've got new polling coming in, it's beginning to come into focus.

    The bad news for Trump and his party is that, based on the data we have, it looks like exactly what the GOP feared: Independent voters have swung significantly toward Clinton since last week's debate.

    Yesterday I saw no political news coverage because of the hurricane coming, and today things started out that way. As important as the hurricane is, I wanted to hear what was going on other than it. When I started hearing things online re Trump, I feared that he'd be saved by the weather getting all the attention. I was so glad when that didn't turn out to be the case and I saw both CNN and MSNBC reporting on that audio and playing it for viewers. As well, there has been coverage of his horrible practice town forum he had last night and also talk about how in an interview last week he insisted that the Central Park 5 are still guilty as far as he and others are concerned. Oh, on CNN one pundit said that the lewd audio means "crisis" for the Trump campaign. It's about time.

    Update: Trump is responding, and I'm not kidding: "Bill Clinton is worse. He's said worse things when we played golf...."

    ...That's his 'excuse'! He's running against Bill Clinton.
