    Has there ever been a figure in American politics more hated by fellow pols than Ted Cruz? Even @dick_nixon & McCarthy had friends.

        @HeerJeet It's really impressive in that arena, like when you hear X or Y athlete is a major jerk—you know it takes -a lot- to stand out.

        @HeerJeet @dick_nixon the whole point of Nixon was to inspire *both* intense loyalty/love and repulsion/hate and bet on more of the former

        @HeerJeet @dick_nixon apart from kissinger, every single member of the nixon inner circle would've taken a bullet for him

        For a large part of the electorate, pissing off other people IS policy. @Broom_Kevin @HeerJeet @dick_nixon

        And that's probably more true for Trump supporters than it is for Cruz supporters, @Broom_Kevin @HeerJeet @dick_nixon

        @HeerJeet One who comes close was Gray Davis once he became CA Gov. Tended to eat his own, so no one had his back when recall started.

        @HeerJeet Otherwise, no. Cruz is odious to those around him, even when on the same side. Never seen anything like it.
