A rattled Ted Cruz gave a grim assessment on the future of the GOP in an emotional Fox News appearance after a series of disastrous electoral results for Republicans.
Appearing on Hannity the day after Democrats swept key races across the countryincluding Zohran Mamdanis win as mayor of New York Citythe Texas senator didnt sugarcoat his words.
Look, last night was a disaster, Cruz said flatly. It was an electoral blowout. The results in New Jersey were disastrous. The results in Virginia were terrible. The results in New YorkComrade Mamdani is the face of the Democrat party.
The comment came after Sean Hannity opened Wednesdays segment by lamenting what he called a disaster of a night for conservatives. My New York friends are officially depressed and scared, Hannity said, referring to the election of Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist who will be New York Citys first Muslim mayor.

They're going to be in the place of people in Germany claiming in 1947 that they were never Nazis.
I'm currently slowly reading a book on the trial of Marshall Phelip Petain who headed the French collaborative Vichy regime. Everyone wanted to claim they were with the resistance although many held positions in the Vichy regime.
There really weren't that many Leon Blum types around to hold the trial.

Nope they want it to be the Mayor of NYC. Just like Trump tries his best to knock down the mayor of London who is also Muslim. It hasn't worked and will not.
