STN has seen our share of Twitter rants during the presidential campaign, but the one from Ted Cruz’s college roommate puts Donald Trump to shame not only for its harsh, biting commentary but also for its incredible duration.
Craig Mazin, a Hollywood screenwriter and director and Cruz’s freshman roommate at Princeton, has been sounding off on Cruz since he was elected to the senate in 2012.
For example:
Craig Mazin ✔ @clmazin
Oh great. Ted Cruz is filibustering. Now the entire nation can experience my noxious freshman year dorm room experience. #havefuneveryone
2:28 PM - 24 Sep 2013
Mazin has seriously kicked it up a notch since Cruz launched his presidential campaign in March 2015 and has been one of his most vocal critics. There are personal shots from their time together 25 years ago, but he also weighs in on Cruz’s positions as they relate to the presidential campaign.
The hatred clearly runs deep.
“I would rather have anybody else be the president of the United States,” Mazin told the Daily Beast in 2013. “Anyone. I would rather pick somebody from the phone book.”
He’s also called Cruz “a nightmare of a human being.”
“I have plenty of problems with his politics, but truthfully his personality is so awful that 99 percent of why I hate him is just his personality,” Mazin said on the Scriptnotes podcast in October 2013. “If he agreed with me on every issue, I would hate him only one percent less.”
Mazin isn’t alone in his dislike of Cruz, as Donald Trump has called him a “nasty guy” while saying “nobody gets along with Ted.”
Recently, his favorability rating has been dropping in the polls, supporting some of the statements made by Mazin and Trump.
Mazin’s Twitter rant against Cruz has gained so much traction that those on social media have been egging him on with loaded questions, resulting in the Cruz rant pretty much taking over his feed.
