On a break during a business trip to Washington last year, David Panton hailed a cab to take him to the Capitol. He told the driver he was going to see the Texas senator and presidential candidate Ted Cruz.
“He’s racist,” the cabdriver replied, according to Mr. Panton.
Mr. Panton, taken aback, informed his driver that Mr. Cruz had a bust of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the right side of his desk, that he was the only senator to attend the funeral of Nelson Mandela and that he had a “black guy” as a college roommate and best man at his wedding.
“I don’t believe that,” the cabby said, as Mr. Panton tells it.
“Well,” Mr. Panton replied, “you’re talking to him.”

When Trump gets any past opposition thrown at him he says “Jerimia Wright” - answer that first.
“If you are a NeverTrump type person, you are working against our purposes on FR, so please opus out now and log off and let us carry on with our mission in peace.
Continue insulting us with 24/7 anti-Trump diatribes and insults, your opus will be assumed.”

Yeah, I don’t trust Trump at all. He has never given me a reason to.
cutting Ted a little slack. he wans’t holding hands like blowbama.
Heidi is not running for President. Cruz supports the US Constitution and our sovereignty as he has demonstrated in his career. He would never cede power to outside forces.
Yes. It’s weird.
LOL!
That first pic looks a lot like the “Obama and Groucho of Arabia” pic.
They could be bruvvas
Heidi Cruz is running for president

“So we are not worried in the least and [we are] focusing on our campaign, and we are going to continue to do that,”

“What I think most women want is a better future for their children, and that’s what I want and it’s why Ted and I are running,”
Heidi Cruz
Again we can politely disagree. I don’t trust Cruz after TPA and Coker. I respect your right to your view of him.
That was the first thing I thought of too: Obama and his little mustachio’d friend practically sitting in one anothers’ laps.
Is this some Ivy league thing? LUGs: `lesbians until graduation’; HUGs?
My gaydar needle broke.
I will pray for this country
I’ve also read that the “business dealings” in Jamaica were on the shady side. What kind of shady, I do not know.
But I would not be at all surprised if Mr. Paton were putting in a request for financial emolument to Cruz about now. Just to keep things quiet....
Eerily similar to Hitlery and Bill.
Um - you want me to answer that? Not sure of your meaning.
But he only shared an apartment with Siddiqi for maybe a year that is known, but Paton and Cruz were roommates for about eight years. That counts for something.
Vote Trump! Nonetheless, great article about Cruz. Finally, someone from his college days has something nice to say about him.
Sorry - I can be too literal minded sometimes.
Duh....
So as far as we know, this now brings the total to two people who like Ted, Mike Lee and David Panton.
