"What this photograph demonstrates is that..."
There was lightning and thunder in his words and eyes when Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was lashing out at the liberal media during Wednesday night's debate.
There was a whole different picture during a break, when Cruz spent some happy moments with his daughters Caroline and Catherine. A picture of Cruz with the two girls was uploaded to Twitter, where voters got a glimpse of the man behind the message.

The image connected across America.
“As a dad myself, I approve of this pic. Over and over,” wrote Michael Cantrell on Young Conservatives.
“What this photograph demonstrates is that Cruz is a family man, a leader who has something worth fighting for. He's not just fighting for our liberty, for our rights, but for the future of his daughters,” Cantrell wrote.
“For him, the battle to save and restore America is a personal one, and a man who has skin the game will always fight harder than those who don't,” Cantrell added.
“Endearing. An example for all men,” tweeted Gena Farley. “Go Ted, Cruzin in GA for you.”
“I love their adoring look at their dad! Precious pic,” tweeted Kelly Moritz.
At a campaign event in Texas earlier this month, Cruz asked the crowd at Prestonwood Baptist Church for prayers for his daughters so they both know they are loved.
"The hardest thing about this campaign is being on the road," Cruz said about having to be away from his two girls.
Aw. How sweet.
That is a sweet picture.
Very cute photo! And the CNBC mods think Cruz won’t be a good on women’s issues!
I’m so sorry I upset you. I don’t want to do that.
Fathers really are the best. I’m sorry for your loss.,
Please do not apologize. You did not upset me; you brought back wonderful memories.
I guess my wording was not good. Missing my dad is a good thing. Hugs to you.
No, your wording was fine. I think we are blessed that we had such wonderful dads.
I’m sure when the day comes and the Senator’s girls are grown women with children of their own, they will have treasured memories of their dad too.
Adorable! God Bless them, every one.
Great shot.
I looked at that picture and thought to myself, "there's two little girls who clearly love their daddy."
That's a great picture. Agree it speaks volumes about Ted Cruz's good character.
Now if he'd just get right on H1B's .................
Wow...his girls love him. The love is apparent in nearly a visible way...
He’s just a regular dad.
Dear Lord- Please let this man be our president and watch over he and his family-Amen
:)
As a daddy myself, I think that picture speaks volumes.
Well stated. Both men have great families, and we know this isn’t by accident.
Sitting next to the Trump kids. Hmmmmm.
Thank you. That’s my take on it as well.
Best campaign photo ever (because it was not staged) bump!
I’m glad the next debate will be coming up so soon. The senator should be able to ride some of his richly deserved momentum into that one.
Hugs to you, friend.
