Texas Sen. [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore] said Thursday that there’s “no doubt that Donald Trump is the Kim Kardashian presidential candidate.”

“He sits on Twitter and makes a lot of noise but he has no solutions to fixing the problem,” Cruz said on the John and Ken Show.

The remarks came in response to a comment from a radio host about Trump’s success in increasing ratings of TV networks. The Texas senator went on to say Trump’s success is due to media executives wanting him to be the nominee.

“The mainstream media wants Donald Trump to be the nominee,” Cruz said. “They’ve given him $2 billion of free advertising. This is not because they are kind and generous. It’s because the network executives are all liberal Democrats, they are ready for Hillary.”

“They recognize that Donald Trump is the only person on Earth Hillary Clinton can beat in a general election,” Cruz added.
