I am not the first person to note this

But doesn't Ted Cruz have a striking resemblance not only psychologically but physically with Joe McCarthy?

Sounds a lot like McCarthy, too. Same nasal whine, in a higher register (one thing you can say about Tailgunner Joe, he didn't have to worry about Low-T) with a Texas twang.

Ted Cruz may be Peak Wingnut personified.

You are extremely late to this game. Even my mother noticed this last summer — looks like him, sounds like him. She thinks that he may have actually studied film clips of McCarthy.

Google the creepy Burger King "King" as well, very eerie resemblance.

Well, most azzholes do tend to look alike...

Cruz is not, AFAIK, a chronic alcoholic, and that makes him more dangerous than McCarthy.

But, he's even crazier (as I recall, McCarthy did not have the habit of saying that every disaster he proposed and lie he told was ordained by God), so I would guess they have comparable deficiencies.
