Sen. Ted Cruz took a break from quoting his favorite movie The Princess Bride on Wednesday to lift a line from another classic, The American President. Whether or not the Texas senator was aware, his retort to Donald Trump's recent attacks on his wife was almost identical to that of President Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas), who hits back against his prime political foe in defense of love interest Sydney Ellen Wade

I couldn't believe it. When I watched the video, it was word for word. I guess he really does have a photographic memory!

I wish people would just quit this trivializing or propagandizing of everything either man says or does.

“Plagiarizes”?
Kinda harsh, no?
I’d use a word like “references.”
I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Did you watch the video? It is word for word. I didn’t trivialize him. I’m actually impressed. Btw, Michael Douglas actually said it.
To: Theo
He quoted Michael Douglas word for word. Watch the video. It is exact.

Low energy Jeb Bush just endorsed a man he truly hates, Lyin’ Ted Cruz. Honestly, I can’t blame Jeb in that I drove him into oblivion!

Thanks. I was wondering why this was the first I saw of it. I guess he posted it at the same time as I did.

I heard it live on CNN and it was the first thing I thought of. I loved that movie. Annette Bening was tapable.

Donnie Boy’s early Alzheimer’s is painful to watch. The man IS nuts.

People do this kind of thing because they don’t have an independent thought in their heads.
