Former third-party presidential candidate Ralph Nader doesn’t think much of Sen. Ted Cruz, calling him a “train wreck” in a new interview.
“Ted Cruz you know, he’s a train wreck,” Nader said on Larry King’s “Politicking” on Ora TV on Thursday night. “He’s willing to shut down government, willing to tie up the Senate. He doesn’t seem to be able to have a two-way conversation.”
Nader also slammed the Texas Republican for his ties to Big Business, a criticism the activist has also leveled at politicians including President Barack Obama.
“I don’t think he’s really all that libertarian,” Nader said of the tea party favorite. “I think he has corporatist tendencies, Big Business tendencies, regardless of his rhetoric, but he’s not accomplishing much. If he was really serious, he would push a movement to get all government contracts online. … He’s not achieving anything.”
