"Ted Cruz. Well, I think that he is a wonderful speaker, wonderful writer, wonderful humanitarian; I aspire to be like him. I think everyone on our staff aspires to be like him. And I think everyone in America-- he's the one figure everyone can kind of agree on."-- Will Tracy, editor in chief of The Onion, a satirical news website [Washington Post]
