And Ted spoils himself;

.Ted Cruz talks about watching hardcore porn with his daughters in the audience (at the family town hall) .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML6lpDP8c20

T. CRUZ: He would be someone that you would be a fool not to look at seriously. He’s very, very talented. And, you know, you asked if Marco and I are friends. Let me tell you a story.

So last year, I wrote a book called “A Time for Truth.” And in the book, one of the chapters is talking about the year I spent as a law clerk at the Supreme Court. And it describes — the chapter begins with me watching pornography on the Internet with Sandra Day O’Connor, which was a bit of a bizarre experience.

(LAUGHTER)

It was the first of the Internet porn cases to go to the court, and the court librarians were showing the justices what the Internet was, and they’d pull it up, and the story I told, I was clerking for Chief Justice Rehnquist. They paired the chief justice and Justice O’Connor and their law clerks were in this little room looking at this computer screen that pulls up hardcore porn. And Justice O’Connor — I still remember, she leaned forward and she squinted and said, “Oh, my!”

But the Marco piece of this — so the book comes out and there were some — you know, reporters thought that was a funny story, so they wrote about that story. And I’m on a plane and Marco texts me and says, “Holy cow, you watched porn? Our oppo researchers missed that.”

(LAUGHTER)

Now that was funny. And listen, he’s got a good sense of humor. I laughed when he sent that text.

What a contrast to the Trump family town hall.

More Cruzers wishful thinking. Trump will top 50 percent easily.

Man, you are reflecting the desperation of your candidate...

Can't anybody here play this game?

Between Carson and Trump it's been amateur hour since June.

Interesting, but irrelevant to my observation that, in posting such feeble tripe and its ilk, you're reflecting the desperation of your candidate...

Yeah, he’s so “desperate” that he’s had people working on delegate recruitment and selection for over a year while your idol still hasn’t ramped up his game. Hiring a 67 year old Jerry Ford/Bob Dole hack is not a cure all, by the way.

That and a dime will get Ted Cruz a cup of coffee.

He should actually try getting some popular votes from the GOP electorate. That would be neat.

Instead, Donald Trump has over 8 million votes, compared to Cruz's 6 million or so.

Delegates aside, that's a real disparity in real support.

And that trend is going to continue, or even worsen, going into the convention...

Compared to youth Ivanka sitting suggestively on the Don lap?

Or the later family together with the same Ivanka not registered to vote for he dad?

My daughters sat on my lap and I’ve been on dates with them. Nothing wrong with that except to those with their minds in the gutter.

Amateurs hour is watching Cruz speaking tonight. I hear more forks rattling and secondary conversations that were more interesting. Cruz is an awful speaker and the five people chapping must have been drunk.

Mind in the gutter? Can you defend his remarks here?

There’s not really a correlation between the two; Trump is talking about having sex with his daughter, Ivanka [but stops himself short], but regardless, the Cruz children are probably [already] smarter than me! I get the idea their parents are truthful to them, in language kids understand.
