Craig Mazin is on a Twitter roll.
His antipathy for his former Princeton roommate, Ted Cruz, has made him a public sounding board for Cruz haters and fun seekers, and a target for the senator’s supporters. “I would rather have anybody else be the president of the United States,” Mazin told the Daily Beast. “Anyone. I would rather pick somebody from the phone book.”
Plenty of Cruz fans tweet at Mazin to disagree with his mini-diatribes or, since yesterday, to gloat over their candidate’s victory in Iowa. But Mazin politely gives as good as he gets. Here are his relevant exchanges from the past 48 hours or so. (Click the links for more context.)
He took AP Shaming long before he arrived at Princeton. https://t.co/6uOpU9Wd1L

.@Lin_Manuel‘s shortest musical. CRUZ. “I am not throwing away my–” BANG. “Is he dead?” “Yup.” CURTAIN. APPLAUSE. https://t.co/LevPFjtLWD

By “friends” I assume you mean “most people” and by “mean girls” you mean “observant, thoughtful individuals?” Yes. https://t.co/fQiFwZW3ea

I’m not much of a drinker. Either way, I’ll smile. With every passing day, the world gets a clearer view. https://t.co/pS2qIWwLcG

Yeah, turns out U.S. military commanders also think Ted is a jackass. Who’s left at this point? https://t.co/AHpkxJnIbO

Where do you think he works now, sir? Where does the job he wants take place, sir? We’ll wait. https://t.co/sZEpLf4rzc

Hey everyone! Had a great time seeing Hail, Caesar! tonight. Anything else happen? Oh! Right! Ted won the Santorum-Huckabee prize!

Personally, I’m kinda thrilled. More Cruz! If I suffered for 10 months with this abomination, why should you people get off any easier?

No, it’s new. I assume one wrist is local time, and the other is whatever time it is in the hellpit that spawned him https://t.co/4kFR5DVLLe

Are those “don’t tread on me” snakes… or the alien worms piloting the meat suit you all call “Ted Cruz”? https://t.co/fjPrzU20Wm

You think tonight bothers me? Please. Every day I’d come back to my room and find Ted shirtless in bed, hands behind his head, armpits out.

Yes, a character from a remaindered Left Behind knockoff novel who thinks his son is going to bring Jeebus back. https://t.co/sO0Rocg9iB

Ummm, yes you can. You can watch them on TV right now if you want… https://t.co/DxpzoyJXrj

Sure. Two possibilities.
1. Tragic coincidence
2. I’m a character in a story, and the author is a dick https://t.co/xsHatgduDH— Craig Mazin (@clmazin)
You want “horrible.” His sense of smell was fine. His actual smell was yucky. Linking verbs! https://t.co/nJX6GDUOMO

Ted Cruz focused all of his resources on a state with tailor-made demographics for him, and he got 50,000 votes. Dodger Stadium fits 56,000.

I wanted to read your comment, but I locked in on your Jesus Fire Flag and started astral projecting. https://t.co/ak0haIFmZV

More homo panic. I think there’s a study somewhere that indicates something about… wait. Stickeehands? https://t.co/JlR98gwzE8
