Ted Cruz is a Canadian-born junior U.S. Senator from Texas. In case you just got out of a coma, he is running for President Of The United States, despite not liking one state in particular.

Crai Mazin is a professional screenwriter who also happened to be Ted Cruz’s college roommate at Princeton in 1988. Over on Twitter, Mazin has been spewing 24/7 loathing for his old Ivy League bunk buddy. Against the backdrop of the looming Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, it makes for some highly amusing social media melodrama.

There’s a lesson here, Bros: Don’t be a dick to your roommates. You never know if they’ll be running for public office 25 years later.

My freshman year college roommate Ted Cruz is going to be elected Senator. In case I hadn't made it clear, he's also a huge asshole. — Craig Mazin (@clmazin) October 26, 2012

Oh great. Ted Cruz is filibustering. Now the entire nation can experience my noxious freshman year dorm room experience. #havefuneveryone — Craig Mazin (@clmazin) September 24, 2013
