The whole quote: "You know, I'll tell you, in my house, if my daughter Catherine, the five-year-old, says something she knows to be false, she gets a spanking," Cruz added. "Well, in America the voters have a way of administering a spanking, and I can tell you this: As president ... there will be accountability for Benghazi."

[cripplecreek]

LOL ya just knew this was coming.

[Balding_Eagle]

Spanking?

Is that how Presidents talk?

[Cowboy Bob]

Liberals don’t mind spanking the monkey. Why complain now?

[WorkingClassFilth]

The best thing about the 2016 campaign so far is that the top tier are simply saying the common sense side of reality instead of the politically correct left-speak nonsense. One campaign is built entirely on slamming PCism, Refreshing? Heck, yeah! However, being a bull in a china shop will only take you so far. That’s where brains come in. Trump may know how to game the system, but I think people generally know he’s the loud mouth at the barbar shop - we can agree with a lot, but we still know he’s a loon. Cruz is, was, and will be the man.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s not only a foreigner but and admitted child abuser! Somebody call Child Protective Services and have them send a SWAT Team.

Benghazi ping.

Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.

I have NEVER spanked my daughter, who will be old enough to vote in November.

We are very close and I couldn’t ask for a kid with better values, integrity and behavior.

I think spanking is at least stupid, and probably worse. I wish Cruz hadn’t said this.

But he’s still my first choice for President.

[DouglasKC]

The real test of Cruz will be to see how he responds to the backlash. Trump would say “Darn right Hillary needs to be spanked....and she needs to be grounded as well.”

[I want the USA back]

Liberalism is a mental illness. But we knew that.

[GOPJ]

Good for Cruz... everyone needs to stay on this... Hillary is a liar.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Outstanding!

[georgiegirl]

Go stand in the corner is a great option. A lot of politicians need this form of punishment as well.

[oblomov]

The Bushies are getting increasingly desperate. PLease, Dowd, tell us what makes a real man. It's a good idea to vet your response with Stephanopolous before going on-air with it.

Cruz: "I hit my 5 year old daughter, and i am going to make a joke about it." unreal. that isn't a real man.

You would not believe how many conservatives, and even those who call themselves Christians, utterly disallow physical discipline of children.

Ted Cruz: 'I hit my child. Hitting children is GREAT! I'm not a s****** at all. Vote for me!" -- Wil Wheaton

How's that Hollywood career working out, Wil?

Anything since TNG?

[Candor7]

Bill spanked Cancles, but it didn’t work. Cruz is wrong. Hillery needs more than a spanking.She needs jail time with big burly Correctional Officers.

[kiryandil]

LOL!

I love Wil Wheaton!

However, he's wrong about raising children, and Ted Cruz is correct.

End of discussion, Wil.

[Bernard]

Now that Web Hubbell is gone, who would volunteer to spank Hillary?

Actually, that might a great fundraiser; like the 2016 equivalent of a dunk tank.

[Redbob]

Hillary no doubt didn’t get spanked near enough in her formative years.

Ted will rectify that in just a few months!
