Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, Cruz explained, “The Democrats are the party of Lisa Simpson and Republicans are happily the party of Homer, Bart, Maggie and Marge.”
Former presidential candidate Ted Cruz is aware of The Simpsons‘ existence — just not aware enough to make a reference that actually works in his favor.
* The Season 11 episode “Bart to the Future” even flashes forward to reveal that Lisa becomes the first female President of the United States.
* Lisa is consistently depicted as the smartest, most mature member of her family, while Homer and Bart are famous for being lazy, apathetic and unintelligent.
