Ted Cruz says 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Traumatized Him (this is your future president?)

What disturbs you?

What childhood event, adolescent disappointment or even adult despair has scarred you beyond repair?

Did it ever make you want to become a politician?

It's a tangential question incited by Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz's appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

Asked how many of the "Star Wars" movies he's seen, Cruz proudly said, "All of them."

And when probed about the last movie that made him cry, he exposed his deeper innards.

"As someone who grew up -- I mean, I stood in line for two hours to watch 'Empire Strikes Back,'" he said. "Han Solo was my hero."

He didn't want to spoil what happens to Solo during the most recent movie, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

"I'll just say that there's an image in that movie that was traumatic at a level I never wanted to see," he said.

I don't want to spoil it for you either, but come on, the movie came out in December and if you haven't seen it by now, you must have no friends.

Some might observe there's been a notable change in Cruz since the movie emerged. He was first friendly toward rival Donald Trump. It's different now.

He admitted in another part of the interview that if, while about to reverse his car, he were to see Trump in his rear-view camera, he's not sure which pedal he'd depress.

I’d rather have someone that has worked so hard to build a business that they don’t even know who Yoda is.

The Revolutionary War traumatized President Washington. /S

This has to be a satirical article or an April Fools joke.

Yet he probably knows about Yoda anyway. He certainly wouldn’t be traumatized by something that was total make believe, of that I am certain.

Han Solo was a womanizer. So yeah, it seems fitting given Cruz’s inability to control his morals.

The Empire will strike back if Cruz stays in the race. This is what happens when your dad tells you that you have been anointed by God to be the leader of the free world... YOU DON’T KNOW WHEN TO QUIT.

Now I have truly seen everything.

There is absolutely nothing that some Trump supporters will not grasp onto and try to turn into a weapon with which to bash Cruz.

And ALL of it, they deem worthy of posting here.

Some of you are truly deranged and need to come up for air for a couple of days. It's becoming comical and desperate and really isn't helping your candidate with any (if there are any) undecideds.

The Cruz bashers are coming out in force. I am voting GOP all the way no matter who gets the nomination.
