Mr. Cruz’s own attempts at humor sometimes missed the mark. In one debate, he proposed a method to detect infidelity in which God should “give women a hymen that grows back every time she has intercourse with a different guy, because that will be a ‘visible sign’ of the breach of trust,” according to a recollection by David Kennedy published in a Harvard debate team reunion booklet in 2001.
Mr. Kennedy’s debate partner mocked Mr. Cruz’s knowledge of the subject matter by contorting herself to see how the anatomy in question could be “visible,” according to the booklet.

What a surprise that a Cruzbot is so willing to ignore the apparent breakdown of everything Cruz claimed to stand for as the "Last Great Christian (to a fault) Champion of the People and the Constitution", while he plays spoiler in a gambit that makes it much more likely that Hillary gets to the WH...
This is a terrific read no matter who you support. It gives a wonderful and intuitional picture of Ted Cruz, just as rigid and tightly wound as he appears in public today. Someday his daughters may collaborate on a fascinating book.
I realize that I’m preaching to the choir, but this needs to get distributed here by someone with a massive ping list. And hopefully it makes it’s way to a larger audience on the general web:
What every voter needs to know about Ted Cruz. (and Heidi)

Oh the irony. Ted was Cruzified on Good Friday.
But the similarity ends there. In this story, you won’t find a Wise Man or a Virgin. ;-)
I cannot believe this tempest in a teapot over the use of a perfectly good English word. It makes me wonder if many of the posters here are no smarter than that (black) Dallas council member who went ballistic over the words ‘black hole’ (Google it) or the (black) Washington DC city employee who was let go after using ‘niggardly’.
For goodness sake folks, if you don’t know exactly what a word means, look it up before spouting off.
I know; that’s why I now think the re-run of Santorum was the best we had!
You’ve got a good memory. We are self-destructing AGAIN!
Did you read the writing or any of the HTML leads from it?
“He would say just about anything” to win....
Obama had ‘issues’ because he as rejected by mommy and daddy.
Cruz is nothing like Barry.
“For those who hate Trump - even if he is every bad thing you say about him, he is not a narcissist”
He claims he is the ‘bst’ at everything. He’s audited because he’s such the Christian. Nobody in Congress in read more on the Iran deal, et al...
Have you noticed at press conferences and rallies Trump is quick to praise others and let everyone know how much he thinks of the folks working for him? It isn’t about his own ego ratification. He takes pride in solid accomplishments- e.g. Building buildings and a great business around them
Reaching waaaaaay back for straws... As he recalls from a debate 16 years ago...
These people are desperate.
Precisely.
The Hew York Times ?
Seriously?
Nails it.
Heidi even let it slip the other day about why “we/re both running” for president.
Another twofer-—like we need warmed-over Clintons.
LISTEN TO YOUR PASTOR: In one early Harvard debate, St Ted proposed a method to detect infidelity in which God should “give women a hymen that grows back every time she has intercourse with a different guy, because that will be a ‘visible sign’ of the breach of trust”. (recollection by David Kennedy published in a Harvard debate team reunion booklet in 2001)
I'm not talking necessarily about America - I'm talking at a smaller level, starting with the self, then family, friends, your business. In the US, especially those of us who happen to be traditionally American, but it's true in all western civilization now, the PC crap encourages you to be weak and let anyone walk into your garden and piss on it, because after all you have no right to any garden, 'you didn't build that', or you stole it from someone etc. It's a very abusive mentality, and especially white western civilization has adopted it.
I don't think most here have, although I think all of us feel it trying to seep in, apologies are demanded of us 3 times a day, if not for something we did, someone someone else who looks like us did, or anyone who is successful. So they want us to have no tigers around our garden. The purpose for that is of course so they can take it, or pee in it, or wreck it just because they resent it.
Trump will have none of that - at a personal, family, business, community level. If you're one of the trespassers - just a trespasser in general - one who doesn't understand boundaries either personal or physical, then you would naturally find Trump to be a boorish pig, violent and angry. Because you'll only see the tigers ... probably because you tried to wander into the garden. If you see a man who's toiled to build something - then you see the tigers as practical, and you like to see them because it's a reminder that you weren't wrong to find the stench of the pressure to apologize all the time noxious. The class that hates Trump is the class that doesn't build anything.
And of course they never point out that, yes, Trump had a start to build his fortune. But ... he didn't have to work a day in his life if he didn't want to, once he had his father off his back - he could have been a trust funder.
The point is that I wonder if there are just people who are never going to see how he treats the people around him, his positivity, will to improve or build things ... because they won't or cant't build anything or improve anything. Maybe they sense no garden in their lives and therefore don't understand what it is Trump guards.
He'll turn into anything if you mess with him, which is how a man should be, so long as what he guards is rightfully his or his to defend, his territory. That territory includes your family and community and the people in your business for businessmen not only in it for the money.
I think he's actually just ... a good guy with some eccentricities, most of which are byproducts of the things that would make him successful as a president.
So I think he pretty much starts with liking people, and then so long as you don't look to take or invade what he cares about, none of which appears to me to be ill gotten or nefarious, then you pay for it.
That doesn't make you a negative person. Without that ... you only have what America is becoming ... a mediocre ... essentially country wide occupy wall street slum. To be angry about it is the natural expression of the tigers. but 'they' will call it 'hateful anger.' That's for defending your garden.
That sentence is not even in English.
well it would seem Rafael has a foul mouth...
that squeaky clean image is as clouded as Willard’s...
a double minded man is unstable in all his ways...James 1:8
