Teen Ted Cruz joked of goals: ‘World domination, you know, rule everything’

Politico ^

[springwater13]

A new video of a teenaged Ted Cruz, posted Saturday on YouTube, shows a lankier and younger version of the future Republican presidential candidate sarcastically talking about his life’s goals - and they're far more ambitious than the mere presidency. "Take over the world, world domination, you know, rule everything. Rich, powerful, that sort of stuff," Cruz says

The new clip was posted on YouTube under the name "Young Ted Cruz." The operator of the account told POLITICO the video had been provided by a high school classmate of Cruz's who wished to remain anonymous. The video comes less than 10 days before the Iowa caucuses, where polls show Cruz at or near the lead.

His high school classmates even hate him! They leaked the video. lol

This is a nothing burger but the video is interesting to see why he is hated. His whole attitude is one of condescension and arrogance and it has carried forward his whole life.

[skeeter]

No, its a nothing burger, period.

Sheesh

Oh this is silly. Of course young people have goals. We were going to be the next Rolling Stones. Instead, I had to settle for Glenn Beck calling me. "Great Historian."

I think next Rolling Stones sounds better from today's vantage point.

I hear he dipped a girl’s pigtails in an inkwell back in 3rd grade. You might want to Google that.

[Aria]

That business of being so hated has bitten him more than once.

[dforest]

Oh no, he is a saint!

So this is the best Politico can come up with after 15 years of Clinton/Obama?

How bout some of those scandals, Politico? Or is that require too much thinking and work for ya?

[Fzob]

Makes me like him more. Sounds like me in HS.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Obama / Clinton scandals? What Obama / Clinton scandals? /s

[JoSixChip]

No, its a nothing burger, period.

Really? after the things that you and your fellow cruz supporters have been posting, your going to label anything a nothing burger? Have you no shame at all?

[jwalsh07]

Shocking! You changed my mind. I will vote for the Manhattan liberal.

"His whole attitude is one of condescension and arrogance and it has carried forward his whole life."

Yeah! Let's vote for Donald Trump instead!

Unforgiveable!!

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Well if someone comes out with an article about Donald cheating on a test in 9th grade or biting his teacher in first grade I’d say that was a nothing burger too....

[bolobaby]

It’s OK. Trump wants to go shoot people in 5th Avenue to prove how loyal you Trumpettes are.

But hey! Look over here at this video of Ted Cruz in High School!

[nascarnation]

Interesting to compare with Caliph Baraq and the Choom Gang at that age.

If nothing else, it shows that Cruz is a self made man and SOMEBODY else made Baraq.

Yup. I wanted to be Rick Monday's successor in center field for the Dodgers. By the way, world dominator was his SECOND choice in the clip. His first choice was to be an actor in a teen something-or-other film like the one who played Horatio.

[miss marmelstein]

Turnaround being fair play, I laughed at this.

[grania]

Ohcomeon. I’m a total 100% trumpster. But when you criticize a HS video, you sound as foolish as Cruzers do with some of their idiotic stuff.

He was the guy who got pantsed in the main hallway of high school.

And who didn't have sex until he was 27.
