Ted Cruz,The “hymen” joke that perfectly reflects his odious worldview
New York Times ^ | APRIL 22, 2015 | JASON HOROWITZ

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.

I think that hymens are a bad choice of analogies for anyone. Much less so for a creepoid like Cruz who, in any other context, would be one of the usual suspects when 10 year old girls go missing.

You sort of summed it all up, didn't you? Thanks!

Why is it garbage? Do you think this stuff won’t be front & center in a general election?

No surprise here....NYT’s engaging in yellow journalism...

What is surprising, is how low a threshold Trump supporters will go, to smear Cruz based on nothing....

This article is nothing about nothing....

Basically a debate tactic that didn’t work as planned...

I think if you consider his hymen reference a simple debate tactic that didn't work as planned, there's really nothing to say to you.

You do know it’s Trump’s Fault that Ted said the hymen joke right? Just wait, that’s what we’re going to hear next.

Ted won’t be held accountable for the words coming out of his own mouth of course...

“according to a recollection...published in a Harvard debate team reunion booklet in 2001
Reaching waaaaaay back for straws... As he recalls from a debate 16 years ago...

These people are desperate.

Let me help you. It was apparently published in 2001. I would think it would be verifiable why not call for that? For Pete’s sake.

Yeah, That idea of the Tedster should really be popular with the gals in a general election.

Having Ted around would be a good reminder to hang on to your hymen.

I am positive that you are not very smart, neither are you a conservative. Go back to your cushy union job. Maybe Trump will find a tax payer funded project for you, just like Hillary would.

LOL you think? I think Ted suffers from compartmentalization... his left brain does not communicate with his right brain.
