There fixed it!
Now we know why Ted the Cubanadian was confused
Sounds like he said “basketball rim” to me. Quite a common slang term for a hoop.
But he called it a ‘basketball ring’ in Indiana. Indiana!
My brother and I used to divide people by that criteria. If they threw like a girl, they were classified as sissies.
| LOL! Excellent. I've got a feeling Cruz's anti-social weirdness started when his Dad forgot to buy him a basketball. Shooting hoops with other kids in the neighborhood is part of growing up in America. But we learned that Cruz never liked sports. Meanwhile, Trump was a star baseball player at the New York Military Academy high school.

Trump did make a mistake, certainly not an earth-shattering one under normal circumstances. I’ve read his quote, he was talking about being at the WTC with firemen and police, not with the 711 or at the 711 or at 711 Central Park which is 7 miles away. The firehouse has already put out a statement that they are not known and have never been known as the 7-11 or 711. You can probably guess why.
Finally, his spokesperson, Katrina Pierson, said it was a slip. If that’s not good enough for you, oh well. Time to catch up on Turn.
Ted is a football guy. He loves watching his favorite throwingback toss a nice pass into the scoring area.
Did you take the time to read the article at the link I provided ?
“Nothing but air.”
I think they should have to do a salute to. Cruz would fail there as well.
Actually it’s used as a chin-up bar by the seven foot tall athletes. The whole game has been transformed from what it was to what it is today: a way for underprivileged youths to become millionaires.
Trump says 7-11 for 9/11, and Cruz uses ring for hoop. Big deal, they’re probably all exhausted and making silly verbal mistakes.
Is this some sort of Cruz forum tactic/strategy whereby whenever anyone levels a criticism or points out a problem with Cruz, you and other Cruz supporters respond by criticizing Trump?
hard-hitting story of the day. Obama a knows everything about basketball, so what?
Cruz embarrassed himself... dreadful pandering.
like when Trump praised the 711 cops and firemen. yeah, people make mistakes, even your god Trump.
I just wanted to say it seems you have all begun using some sort of Cruz forum rule book whereby whenever a criticism is raised against Cruz, you respond by attacking Trump.
On to your game.
LOL - good one...

Another great catch, bushwon!!
Even his part time squeeze Mandy said this was cringe worthy while she was on the CNN panel last night.
