Will the latest news about Ted Cruz hurt his chances for the 2016 GOP nomination? Click to learn the betting odds for the junior Texas senator and other contenders for the Oval Office.

When Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was a teenager, he was caught doing teenage things, as revealed in documents obtained by BuzzFeed.

In his application to become Texas solicitor general, Cruz was required to list any prior convictions. That included one "guilty plea for minor in possession of alcohol."

Apparently when Cruz was a high school senior in 1987, authorities found an unopened case of beer in his vehicle. They gave him a ticket....

I need to know the brand of beer before passing judgement.

If it was Beast he’s definitely lost my vote. It’s ok for ordinary kids who can’t afford anything better, but my standards for future Presidential material are much much higher.

[Major Matt Mason]

It might be a lame attempt, or it might be the Lefty cretins firing a shot across the bow as a warning to Cruz (not that I care, personally - Cruz is my first choice to be the GOP nominee). Just a thought.

[Timber Rattler]

Oh, the horror...that makes me not want to ever vote for him.

The GOP-E is pathetic.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I wonder if he ever released a prisoner who went on to kill four police officers?

[servantboy777]

This is hilarious! Oh mah gosh, Akky-hall?

Cruz is unqualified to be POTUS.

[ScottinVA]

LMAO!!!!

This means... OMIGOD!!!.... that Ted Cruz was... GASP... acting like a typical teenager!

[KC_Lion]

That's It!

Deals Off!

BREAKING NEWS:
Ted Cruz once played “Cops and Robbers” when he was a child and WANTED TO BE THE ROBBER!

GASP---how horrible--how could he do that?

[The Cajun]

Damn!! The horrors!!

Me and my buddies, at that age, probably missed out on a couple of hundred tickets and that was just at the high school graduation parties/after football games, etc, etc, LOL!!

Guess the MSM better start going through his garbage cans looking for tags he pulled off of his mattresses.

Ted Cruz - The Original Gangsta!

[KC_Conspirator]

You have got to be $hitting me. This is what they come up with? Sheesh.

I’m withholding judgement until I know what kind of beer was in the car. If it was cheap American swill his judgement must be questioned. If it was Guinness it will not affect my opinion of him and if it was a craft porter, stout, double or triple bach then his judgement is confirmed to be superior.

I loved Cruz’s response to that poster:

“I have an objection... I don’t smoke cigarettes!”

“when Cruz was a high school senior in 1987, authorities found an unopened case of beer in his vehicle. They gave him a ticket”

So what ?

[Billthedrill]

I used to like the guy, but this is pretty devastating. This is a known gateway to more serious crime such as jaywalking and parking in a loading zone.

If there was a dead body in the trunk, that might be different, but I don't think they can give you a ticket for that. Fortunately for my senior year.

“Next thing you know, we’ll find out that he once went through the Express Lane at the supermarket with MORE than 15 items.”

LOL!

Or maybe he once was alone driving and briefly used a two-person commuter lane on the highway.

[onyx]

Absolutely!
This is GREAT!

[Responsibility2nd]

Really? You think posting a laughable lame attempt to semar Ted Cruz means we want a “bitch fight” against him here at FR?

Okee-dokee..

LISTEN UP EVERYONE. NO MORE POSTING LIBERAL ATTACKS ON ANY CONSERVATIVE - NO MATTER HOW FUNNY OR HILARIOUS THEY ARE.

Because maine-iac7 see these as bitch fights against conservatives.

[cableguymn]

That’s all they got?

Shit, he’s a saint!
