“Better Ted Than Dead.” That’s the slogan that Bill Maher whipped out on one of those now infamous red hats used by Donald Trump’s campaign. Maher has fully bought into the idea that Trump needs to be stopped and is the greater evil among the other Republican candidates for president. Seems to be something that many figured out too late for it to matter, including those in charge of the GOP.
But still, Maher says that Ted Cruz is the better option. And by saying this, he’s forced to down a shot of bleach to cleanse the name from his mouth. The bleach is the image that was passed around with this clip, so I just assumed he was opting to drink it instead of actually choosing a candidate to “support” on the other side. I was incorrect, but saying Ted Cruz is the viable option against Donald Trump probably isn’t much different than drinking bleach.
Like most are saying, this kind of talk is likely too late in the process to mean anything. The party could very well pull into their convention with goals of knocking Trump off the ticket, but that’s going to poison their vote with a bulk of supporters. Stopping a Trump nomination at this point seems difficult, at least until the general elections and all.
The discussion on Trump continued in the overtime segment, along with some heated talk on Obama’s trip to Cuba this week and the goals of the Cuban government going into their new status with the United States. It’s an interesting discussion, along with the followup on voter ID laws. Worth a moment.
