So Cruz must be, what, 5’11? 6’0?

[onyx]

Well, I’d say at least 5’10”.

I have pictures of Cruz and Sarah and I’m about her same size, but she wears high heeled shoes and boots.

I’ve seen Sarah Palin in person and stood directly across a table from her.

[Politicalkiddo]

According to the internet, Palin is 5’5”.

[onyx]

Okay, I am 5’4”

[Politicalkiddo]

She must be wearing some pretty tall heels in that picture...seeing as Trump is, as you said, 6’1”-6’3”. At least 5 or so inches, I would assume.

The night I met her, (she was in the neighboring state of Louisiana) signing her latest book and visiting her friends from that TV show I don't watch. Can't think of its name right now, but they're the Southern family. Oh yeah, Duck Dynasty.

IIRC boots similar to these were sitting there and she was in flatter, more comfortable shoes after a long day.

[Politicalkiddo]

Hm...maybe 3-5 inches. The 5-6 inch heels that I have are killer. I can see why she’d need the other pair.

I got to sit directly across the table from him at a meeting of about 25 local Republican activists... he’s a brilliant man... but he’s below average height.

*****************

I was sure Cruz was 5-11. And just saw him standing next to Trump (6-2), and Cruz was maybe 2 inches shorter.

Paleo— I don’t know who you were sitting across from who was “below average height” (< 5ft-9) , but I don’t think he was Ted Cruz.

[Paleo Conservative]

I have also stood next to and across from him. I’m 6’1”, and Ted Cruz doesn’t come up to the level of my eyes.

[Starstruck]

You have to have a full head of hair too. Sorry Scott Walker.

He could pull a Trump. You know he ain't playing with a full head of hair.
