Cruz’s Face Says It All When Boy Hands Him a Personal Question to Ask a Young Teen Girl

I share this only for discussion purposes of cuteness. Whether you like Cruz or not, it's a great human interest story.

With Wisconsin’s Republican primary swiftly approaching, GOP candidates are hitting the pavement to seal the deal with voters young and old alike.

Among the teenage supporters of Ted Cruz was a boy by the name of Alex Canney who needed some help asking a girl to prom.

In the video below, (Video at site) he hands Cruz a piece of paper with a message for Sarah Beaver. Cruz smiles, puts his arm around Alex and says:

“Sarah Beaver, would you Cruz to prom with Alex Canney?”

The surrounding crowd erupts in “ohhhhhhhhh” and laughter before Cruz congratulates the lad:

“That’s strong. I’ve gotta say Alex, that’s strong.”

So did Sarah say yes? Of course she did!

Beaver tells Independent Journal Review she and Canney have been friends since freshman year of high school.

The two were attending a Cruz meet and greet in their conservative county of Cedarsburg, Wisconsin since the best pals both enjoy politics.

Beaver is actually the videographer of the surprising promposal and was “completely shocked” at what happened:

“That’s why the filming is so terrible, I had no idea why he wanted me to record him reading a note and didn’t know what was going on.”

While the pair are actually in favor of Bernie, they were still excited to meet the presidential candidate. Canney thought enlisting Cruz’s help might increase his chances at winning free tickets to prom:

“The best promposal wins free prom tickets, so Alex decided he wanted to go all out to win.”

Beaver and Canney entered their political promposal video to the contest and have been told the odds are definitely in their favor.

The duo will attend prom April 22.

I posted the whole article because this site is not on the list of sites with warnings.

Last line says prom isn’t until April 22.

“Cruz’s Face Says It All When Boy Hands Him a Personal Question...”

Says it all? All of what?

[Defiant]

Beaver squared.

[JimRed]

Cute couple, and it took nerve to ask that way; maybe more than the usual approach with “what if she says NO” in the back of his mind.

[OneVike]

Yours a cheap political shot on Cruz.

You know that and so does everyone else.

The other was par for the course.

[OneVike]

Yes, I agree. it was ingenious, and he should win

[OneVike]

I know, even I had to read it twice before watching the video. I thought the kid wrote the note wrong, until it sunk in that he meant Cruz, as a play on words for Cruise.

Cute, and good idea

Doesn’t it? Let’s hope he gets smarter, but if he is heading to college, they will probably make him president of the student council.

It’s not just the kids.

The semi-elderly (60’s?) parents of our new neighbors showed up a couple of days ago to babysit the grandkids with a “Bernie” sticker proudly displayed on the bumper of their car. I almost went over and asked why they thought I should pay for their grandkids college education along with the K-12 costs, but didn’t see any point in alienating them, yet.

Millennials may get it, the old hippies never will.

What a load of crap from Yeb sCruz and his zommbies.

[napscoordinator]

ROTFLMAO! You are awesome!

[OneVike]

I’ll say the same to you I did to another;

Why even go there?

What does this have to do with anything but a good story.

Don’t take this site to the gutter, or I will have it deleted.

The kid is a Bernie supporter, he did this to get a girl to accept his prom date request.

There is absolutely nothing political about it, and Cruz had nothing to do with it accept for the kid asking him.

Lucky I wasn’t drinking coffee when I read that! LOL

Hey - I’ll bet you $100 I can get Ted Cruz to say “Beaver” on stage!

[builder]

I say this for humor content only - - She looks like she could be future Trump wife #4.

Hey - I’ll bet you $100 I can get Ted Cruz to say “Beaver” on stage!

hahahaha. I hadn't even thought of that prank.

[OneVike]

Could you delete this post.

I posted this only for a good story that was not political, but it seems like those who dislike Cruz would like to make it about him instead of the teen getting his girl.

So, Please delete post.

My mistake for not realizing FreeRepublic changed beyond the pale.

[SquarePants]

Good thing you were on the case! Now >20% of the comments on this thread relate to that comment. Well done.

[leaning conservative]

Not a Cruz fan at all, but it’s a nice story.

Aw, two little useful Commie idiots, ain’t that cute! /s
