Willie Robertson...“Under a Ted Cruz administration, every home is going to have a basketball ring, a football net and a hockey glove,” Robertson told host Stuart Varney.

The Texas senator was in Knightsville, Indiana, at the gym where the movie “Hoosiers” was filmed. Cruz referenced how much he loved Hoosiers and added, “The amazing thing is, that basketball ring in Indiana, it's the same height as it is in New York City and every other place in this country.”

Bad state to say ‘basketball ring’ in.

Especially about the movie “Hoosiers”

[JimRed]

A football net? Must be calling soccer football, like Europe.

[xzins]

Basketball is to Indiana

as

Apple Pie is to America

Cruz doesn’t play H O R S E. He plays H o r s e a s s

[Buckeye McFrog]

I fell into
a burning ring of fire

I went down, down, down
As the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire,
The ring of fire

Willie was mocking Cruz.

[Sacajaweau]

always a favorite....

[xzins]

What is wrong with the following statement, “That’s as American as peanut butter pie!”

[xzins]

Was that all net?

[LearnsFromMistakes]

Willie was mocking Cruz.

Hockey glove? Who has ever heard of one of those...oh, yeah...they wear gloves...oh well...

[Nifster]

Just devastating

Cruz just doesn’t understand that he is not connecting with anyone but the political wonks

[b9]

Cruz and his basketbull

[xzins]

Something tells me that Cruz hasn’t once in his life played a pickup game of basketball. I could be wrong, but he has always looked ‘soft’ to me. And he’s not that old...just 44.

He was all book and no play is my guess.

[Nifster]

well now here in the north woods peanut butter pie is highly prized

[Karl Spooner]

Security challenge to Cruz: Does Babe Ruth still play football in Boston?

[xzins]

Could he have meant basketball rink?

:>)

[Night Hides Not]

Willie was mocking Cruz.

Setting the stage for an upcoming Duck Dynasty episode when Phil dresses down Willie. It's all an act for the TV cameras.

I did feel a bit sorry for the people on the stage last night. It's tough standing under the klieg lights for 45 minutes to an hour, while Mr. Trump was holding court. Christie was fading fast, while his wife posed as Mrs. Zelig.

[xzins]

He’s a Jerry, Sarge, I swear it!

[PJBankard]

Cruz doesn’t play H O R S E. He plays H o r s e s a s s

Fixed it.
