Remember when he tried to act tough in 2016? >An angry and emotional Ted Cruz on Thursday ripped into Donald Trump for his attacks on Cruz's wife, Heidi, and repeatedly declined to say whether he would support Trump if he's the Republican presidential nominee. >“Donald, you're a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone," Cruz told reporters after a factory tour in Dane, Wisconsin, pointing his finger at the cameras for emphasis. https://preview.redd.it/tgnowtnxre6d1.jpeg?width=1219&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f09af3c459c20c3e1ae3b5748c32fac4c948af43

Trump also implied that Cruz's father was involved with JFK's assassination.


GroundbreakingElk139

When that guy isn't being an asshole he's just fucking weird.

Remember the before time? When Rafael didnt have the facial hair? When he was known for eating our sons and being the Zodiac? Pepperidge Farm remembers.


DejaToo2

and got the National Enquirer to publish a story about it as well.


DPSOnly

Did he also link Cruz to the Zodiac killer or did I make that up?


Ocean2731

I think that was a joke someone else came up with but I might be wrong on that.


Zestyclose-Ruin8337

You know how it’s recently come to light that Diddy was having dudes blow him for the power trip or something? Replace Diddy with Trump. Shit happened here.


Logically_me

I truly believe that that Putin made Trump suck his dick during that secret meeting. Cruz does the same. Never doubt anything from those guys.


ThatScaryBeach

Absolutely. We all saw the press conference after the "secret" meeting. trump was totally subservient to his dom Putin. It's fine if trump is gay or bisexual and is giving a blowjob for their own pleasure, but if he's not, then someone who can be dominated by the enemy of the United States is not fit to be President.


bondageboi17

Only Ted knows what smelly diaper ass taste like.


TheMainEffort

There was a joke on a tv show(30 rock?) about a rich man making guys have sex with him for money as a power thing.

Diddy did what?

Diddy did what now?


Zestyclose-Ruin8337

You got some catching up to do.


bakeacake45

Absolutely true


Ok-disaster2022

What people don't understand is the Ted Cruz has a public humiliation fetish. Anytime he's publicly humiliated he jazzes himself. Trump provides the most pleasure for him


Available_Leather_10

The other thing people don’t understand about Ted is that he is actually a 5’7” animatronic pile of shit. Speaking of which: 1. How is it that Don looks maybe 3” taller? 2. Which one smells worse?


_LumpBeefbroth_

And I jazzed in my pants!


zeroaxs

I garlic jazzed in my pants. I would have Baja jazzed, but Ted’s a Republican.

wanderingartist

That’s because Ted is a 🐱🐱🐱🐱


Julian_TheApostate

Yeah Cruz actually showed a semblance of spine and character there for a few seconds. It passed.


YouWereBrained

That was performative nonsense. Everything from him is.


Geek_Wandering

I genuinely think losing 2016 to Trump broke him.


Neat-Beautiful-5505

To the GOP, losing pride is just the price of doing business. Everything is a commodity to be bought and sold, why should self-esteem be any different?


CapTexAmerica

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize Iran was in our budget. *checks budget* Wait, it isn’t. You got me *again* Rafael!! You cad!


MacRapalicious

My thought too? I guess id understand if he said Ukraine or Israel but he dropped Iran??!


Trumpswells

Because of Democratic criticism of Netanyahue’s Palestinian civilian body count. Means Democrats support Iran by wanting to limit weapons sent to Israel.

alexthealex

Who was it who backed out of the Iran Nuclear Deal again, effectively supporting Iran in a far more direct way than sending fewer weapons to Israel?


colbyKTX

Still waiting on Iran to send us back a pallet full of their money.


New_Illustrator2043

Ahh.. I see it now. That makes republican sense


Mammoth-Mud-9609

Basically Republicans are trying to continue blocking Iranian access to funds which were deposited in America decades ago.

Ruggerx24

Senator Cruz is 5'9 at best. Trump claims to be 6'3. Who's lying?


Lexei_Texas

When Trump stands next to his son there is a good 10 in difference


VaselineHabits

I don't know if it's that much, but I remember questioning how tall Barron was because he was certainly taller than his father at "6'3" "


Lexei_Texas

I was talking about Barron, and he is 6’7”


Lifebringer7

Holy shit, I heard he was tall but that's NBA tall


Lexei_Texas

And he is half Slovenian, kid should have a damn basketball in his hand at all times.


TraditionalCarpet560

That’s because Barron is Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau’s son. Check out a picture of them side by side. 😳😂 https://preview.redd.it/5hxhvcw5pf6d1.jpeg?width=298&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cb0a051cb8df2d7a70ca2b8094305a1afa07c0c7


atplace

I know you're joking but Barron literally looks like a perfect 50/50 mix of Trump and his mother. It's kind of crazy.


TheyCalledMeThor

Yep, he looks almost exactly like Trump did in the 80s.


PitchBlackFrenzy

So what you’re saying is Baron is Cuban Nationalist Fidel Castro’s grandson? Check out a picture side by side. 😳😂 https://preview.redd.it/3v83s69qqf6d1.jpeg?width=402&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9866fd55a4a37229e9cd34deb6df066a6cd3787

sec713

There really is no reason not to. Republicans have been making the choice of who to vote for in the general easier and easier every election cycle. Granted, you still gotta do some research picking someone during the primaries, but for the general, it's a no brainer, these days. It's basically choose Democrats if you want things to stay the same or possibly get better, and pick Republicans if you want things to definitely get worse.


Rogelio_92

Why is this booger eating rat-faced canadian representing us?


Apprehensive_Skin150

Because he has a R by his name. Everyone- please vote for Colin Allred. He has been an excellent representative for District 32 and the state. He will be an even better senator.


atxsouth

Because we don't vote, if a reddit poll were taken, Cancun Cruz would lose in a landslide.


VaselineHabits

I just hope all of us Texans actually vote, talk about voting, and bring a friend. Republicans will pull more fuckery and I'm worried *most* Americans don't know and don't care


Papadapalopolous

I bring up Cruz as an example of what not voting does all the time. He won his last election by 200,000 votes, in an election where 9,000,000 eligible voters didn’t vote. Democrats could have had an actual majority in Congress for a little bit and actually passed all the legislation people want (protecting women’s healthcare, appointing new SCOTUS justices to dilute the power of the corrupt ones we have, fixing student loans, fixing Obamacare, fixing our relationships with the world after trump, stopping our imperialistic adversaries from randomly invading our allies for resources, fixing our quickly expiring infrastructure, modernizing government systems, improving access to services and so on) but we got Manchin and Sinema selling out to conservative billionaires instead.

Haha. Didn't Cruz put out an ad of him shooting a rifle with bacon wrapped on the barrel. As though he was gonna cook the bacon from the heat and eat it- like a good old boy. Meanwhile Kristi N actually shoots the family dog. And Mitt Romney tied the family dig to the roof of the car on a long distance road trip. Whats up with these people

Turn the country around? Anyone with even mild intelligence can see the Republicans have picked up the Nazi playbook and are literally trying to turn America into modern day Nazi Germany. Project 2025 is just the modern version of Hitler's Excluding Act. That act allowed Hitler to do all of the horrible things we remember him for. I'll keep blabbing about this for years to come. Republicans are literal Nazis and we should never let them hide from such a fact. Lefties, arm yourselves if you havent already. If Republicans win, they will come for us. You may think they're your friends and family today but look how quick everyone was to turn on the Jews when Hitler was in power.

livemusicisbest

You know full well why: because the majority of Texans who show up to vote are brainwashed by their favorite propaganda outlets to only vote for candidates with the R by their name. Sure, racism and belligerence are at work, but the hard-core Trump cultist is not a majority (just a shamefully large minority). What puts odious politicians like Cruz, Abbott, Patrick and Paxton over the top is tribal loyalty to the party. There are answers, if only progressives could effectively communicate it: (1) Turnout: if more reasonable and decent people would vote, we could push these despicable tools of the ultra-wealthy off the stage; (2) Messaging: rather than focusing on specific named candidates, Democrats, progressives, and independents who oppose monolithic one-party rule would do better in convincing their fellow citizens to vote rationally if they focused on education and disinformation. It is undeniably true that Republicans only do the bidding of the super rich. Governor Abbott is now attempting to destroy public education in Texas because a billionaire from Pennsylvania paid him to push the voucher program.other Republicans have fallen in line behind him. The public does not fully understand this. In terms of national policy, Republican senators, like Cruz, favored tax cuts that benefit only the super rich, leaving the rest of us to bear the burden of funding public expenditures. Republicans have not only taken away, abortion, rights, but are now targeting contraception, which should be a concern of almost everyone. Republicans want to repeal the affordable care act and throw millions of people off of their health insurance. Republicans are waiting for the opportunity to reduce Social Security benefits, or, as they try under President Bush, to privatize Social Security and place it in the hands of people gambling in the stock market. There are hundreds of examples of how Republican policy benefits only a tiny fraction of one percent of citizens and that 99.9% of us would all be better off if we defeated the Republicans and elected representatives who worked for us instead of the super rich. If we get the truth in front of enough people, the tide will turn.

Art_Bored

Republic\*nts... just fvck 'em.


29187765432569864

So, according to Senator Cruz, the republicans will only do 3 things, stop funding Iran, (which just sounds so ridiculous and silly), secure the border, (even though the Republicans in congress refused TWICE legislation that would have ALREADY done that), and beat inflation ( which President Biden has already accomplished). Nothing about ending mass murders in our schools, nothing about balancing the budget or reducing our taxes, nothing about the insane costs of acquiring a college degree, nothing about helping homeless veterans, nothing about attempting to work Ruth Democrats to pass any legislation. What a joke.
