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.

Thanks so much for looking out for the folks. As for me, I am getting tired of Cruz supporters who somehow think they, or their candidate, are intellectually superior to the average Trump voter.
I actually do know what the word means, and I also know what it conveys. That a female, maybe your daughter or wife, should be vertical, legs open, while a look at her hymen decides whether or not she has been faithful or is virginal, or, in Cruz' words, has breached the trust, whatever that means.
In case you hadn't noticed, there are people in the ME at this very moment who enlist and encourage the same type of exercise to avail the worth of women. It is a product of repressed sexuality - and that is what Cruz is putting on display with this choice of argument - a repressed and probably perverted sexuality. That he would even say something like this in a debate setting should give you serious pause. But it won't, because Ted is the Messiah.
Hope I didn't cause too much intellectual slumming on your part, just wanted to say my part as one of those barefoot bacon loving Trump supporters. I'll go back under the porch now.
