Cruz's Post-Honeymoon Splurge: 100 Cans of Soup
Newser ^ | 04/14/16 | Jenn Gidman

Posted on 04/14/2016 7:38:49 AM PDT by winoneforthegipper

Ted Cruz showed up Wednesday for a CNN town hall—or what Gawker frames as "another glimpse into the waking hell that is Heidi Cruz’s daily life"—with his wife and two young daughters in tow, and Heidi offered up a personal, if bizarre, nugget of life with the GOP presidential candidate. She dished on what her husband did right after they got back from their honeymoon: bought 100 cans of Campbell's Chunky soup. "I never bought 100 of anything," she told moderator Anderson Cooper. "This was shocking to me, so we had a tough conversation about it. I said, "You don't buy 100 of anything, much less canned soup. We can't do this."

Heidi said that while Ted was sleeping, she brought all 100 cans back to the store, but after a panicked phone call to her mother "just to make sure I'd done the right thing as a newlywed," she realized the soup should stay.

She traded it in for cheese for Ted and a moose for his sister.

The level of discourse on this forum has fallen off a cliff. It's become an embassment of stupidity.

I miss the intelligent debates and insight we used to have around here. Now, we have this idiocy.

Yeah....but why did Cruz need 100 cans of Chunky Soup?

Does he overeat?

When he’s twitching out a speech, his middle-age spread is quite noticeable.

He needs to cut out those midnight snacks of soup....ROTFLOL.

Well, for my part, I certainly wouldn’t want as President someone who buys 100 cans of soup. If he trusted God, as he says he does, he wouldn’t buy any soup at all. He’d just gather the manna that falls from Heaven every morning after praying for it in the evening.

I’ll admit that I’m a Progresso soup hoarder. My husband has a can nearly every day for lunch and when it’s not on sale it’s pricey. So, during the winter months when it’s $.99 a can I stock up. He doesn’t get it.

Well we never had a bigger idiot like Cruz run for president on the republican side before so that explains your post.

The clam chowder and the sirloin(like) soup are pretty good.

Nothing wrong with that. I eat soup for lunch. 100 cans when Campbell’s chunky or Progresso is on sale is doable. Would last me weeks. Plus it’s a nice hedge against those weeks I’m sick and can’t spend as much on groceries.

Ted Cruz is not sitting around pondering the alleged soup buying habits of morons like you. I’ve already exposed you as a bald faced liar around here, but you don’t even have the decency to hang your head. You just keep typing lies, littering this super important chunky soup thread with your lying posts. You are a man without honor. Even Trump would be embarrassed that you speak in his favor.

Glad to see another fan of soup. My wife makes soups that will knock you off your feet.

Yes, I would buy 100 cans of Chunky.
