Ted Cruz's Name Association Game

Watch Ted Cruz play the name association game with Politico's Mike Allen on stage at Politico's, "Playbook Breakfast" at the Newseum.

It's pretty interesting to see his mind at work as he tries to come up with one word descriptions for Sen. Mitch McConnell, Hillary Clinton and Chris Christie.

Here is what he said:

• On President Bush: "Strategery"
• On President Obama: "Non-strategery"
• On Vice-President Joe Biden: "Crazy Uncle Joe"
• On Hillary Clinton: "Misguided"
• On Chris Christie:"Brash"
• On Mitch McConnell: "Leader...it's what is stenciled on his door."
• On Rand Paul: "Liberty-loving"
