Let's Point And Laugh At Ted Cruz Trying To 'Joke' And Failing Miserably. For Fun!

Here is a video of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Needs New Material) trying to charm the International Association of Fire Fighters in Dallas this week, with some jokes! Apparently, conservatives eat up this crap and cheer and thump their chests and say "Oooh, Cruz for president!" A firefighters' union, though? Not so much:

I’ll tell you what I think is the simplest and best tax reform. We should abolish the IRS.

[Waits for cheers and applause. Doesn’t get any. Not even a polite chuckle.]

And I’ve joked before, there are right now 110,000 IRS agents. We ought to padlock the IRS building and put those 110,000 agents all on our Southern border.

[Crickets.]

On tax reform, we right now have more words in the IRS code than there are in the Bible.

[Stone cold silence.]

We need to repeal every word of Obamacare.

[Nothin’.]

He'll see himself out.
