He probably disintegrated when red became the GOP's color.

If you combine Ted Cruz and Paul Ryan, you get Joseph McCarthy.

There is zero doubt in my mind that McCarthy would still be a Republican today.

Joe McCarthy is as likely to be a Democrat as Bernie Sanders is to be a Republican.

How much of Joe McCarthy's crusades were him being actually worried about the Russians vs just being an opportunistic a-hole?

Trick question. The GOP is a cult, not a political party.

If the latter, he'd be a birther today.

He would have been a patriotic Democrat who cared about Rust Belt workers. But since the Democrats abandoned civil political discourse, embraced socialism and drifted away from the political centre he'd have joined the Party of Trump a few months ago.

Democratic of course. A party making wild accusations and demanding everyone pay some sort of fealty to it in the name of cultural homogeneity sounds a place he'd be right at home in.

Joe McCarthy looks just like Ted Cruz.

That's some good reasoning there; Mengele would be proud.

Also Ted Cruz looks like Grandpa Munster. What does it all mean?!
