I can answer that right now.... musicians want nothing better than to point to most political conservatives and say, "look...another cretin"

Here's a prime example...Ellen Page ( an actress I like very much) tried to pull the "gotcha" questions on Ted Cruz. Her goal was simple - to ask a setup question, and then turn and roll her eyes to her friends during Cruz' reply. Standard formula. Of course, in this instance, Cruz pretty much schooled her.
