Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Saturday was briefly trapped in an elevator before giving a speech at the South Carolina Tea Party Convention.

Teddy, great sense of humor. Positive, Reaganesque, conservative foundation. All we dream about for our next POTUS.

LOL

Trump is having a Cruz-focused meltdown on Twitter...this will probably intensify it.

I love Cruz, but it would be much more likely that JEB! was in charge of the Elevator.

I agree, not bad. That made me chuckle.

Disclaimer: I like both candidates

Did the reporters laugh? The article didn't say.

Obviously he was joking that Trump purposely trapped him in the elevator.

But people probably will misinterpret the joke as if he was saying Trump is incompetent or something. That can’t be what Cruz meant, though.

I saw a Jeb! bumper sticker on a car today. First one I've ever seen. Probably a Democrat.

Trump invaded Yeb’s mind and look what happened to him.

It appears Trump is starting to get in Cruz’s mind too.
