For a moment I was thinking he resigned. It sure would have been the most appropriate thing he could do. That and disappear from public life.

Nelson Mandela was a communist terrorist. South Afrika is a destroyed country now because of him, the black on white crime there is horrendous.

Thanks for giving us all a great example of the kind of crazy Ted Cruz people responded with.

Ted Cruz should resign because some of his supporters objected to him writing a homage to Mandela? Why?

There is no 'payback' since the people suffering most under the new regime are Black people. And Most south Africans are too young to have voted during Apartheid so 'Payback' is hardly appropriate to them either.

Most people are worse off now than 25 years ago. Only a small,politically connected group of black people are thriving Law and order has fallen apart and now police are brutal and corrupt instead of just being brutal.

Until the ANC properly splits apart and there are at least two viable political parties South Africa will not resemble a modern democracy.

Ted Cruz would sell his own mother if he thought it would get him votes. Remember this guy did the fake filibuster.
