Where is Ted Cruz’s voter base? You can find them at the Redneck Country Club.

Two hours before the doors opened, people gathered in an adjacent parking lot, and judging by the trail of wine bottles and Bud Lite cans they left behind, they were finding other ways besides their iPhones to pass the time. With one hour to go, the gates to another parking lot opened, but this time it was the Redneck Country Club parking lot proper. They had to ditch the beers for that one.

 

Finally, at seven that evening, the tailgate ended. Hundreds of people—750 in the first 20 minutes—poured down the wooden walkway and into the heart of the Redneck Country Club. Maybe they rushed past the donor wall that ranked its most generous contributors as “Big Ass Gun” donors, with the smallest at “.22 Caliber.” Or maybe they didn’t notice that the focal point of the AstroTurf-ed seating area to their left—filled with stone fire pits and the kind of lawn folding chairs you bring to the river—was a full-size replica of General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard. But what they couldn’t miss, a courtesy for anyone who might enter a place called the Redneck Country Club with false premises, was this sign bolted to the outdoor bar: Scissors-32x32.png
