Ted Cruz here at #CPAC2018 starts out by getting a question on gun control and The Simpsons. Yeah, that's right.

at CPAC: "It makes perfect sense that if teachers want to exercise their right to keep and bear arms, that it will only make schools safer."

Cruz says that after the Newtown shooting "Republicans were falling all over themselves scared" to work with Democrats on gun limits; he boasts of leading the push to defeat that effort in 2013.

Ted Cruz says Bill Clinton's critique of Obamacare was "about the only time I ever agreed with Bill Clinton. Well, other than about Hillary." CPAC crowd laughs and applauds.

Cruz's big takeaway from the Simpsons was clearly Rainier Wolfcastle's standup skills.

Cruz is vile.

Trump is still holding Ted's lunch money, lost any respect for him when he let DT insult his wife and push a conspiracy theory about his dad. He's purely political, no compass.

This is what passes for funny in conservative circles. Hey, remember the 1/2 News Hour -- the news satire show on Fox News? Okay, I'll see myself out.

Yeah, adultery is so funny, isn't it? More "locker room" talk? Their campaign to hold onto to women voters is just going SO well.

I remember when Cruz got angry at a man for making fun of his wife...

Trump publicly called Ted's wife ugly and Ted retaliated by endorsing him for president. I'm all set with his dunks on other people's marriage dynamics.

Classy.
