Will the latest news about Ted Cruz hurt his chances for the 2016 GOP nomination? Click to learn the betting odds for the junior Texas senator and other contenders for the Oval Office.

When Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was a teenager, he was caught doing teenage things, as revealed in documents obtained by BuzzFeed.

In his application to become Texas solicitor general, Cruz was required to list any prior convictions. That included one "guilty plea for minor in possession of alcohol."

Apparently when Cruz was a high school senior in 1987, authorities found an unopened case of beer in his vehicle. They gave him a ticket....

Okay, but if I find out he ate too much pie at the Church social, or pulled a girl's pig-tails in class he's offin' my list. LOL

The bitch fight at the Houston Comical has begun.

Was thinkin' the same thing ...

The guy's on thin ice in MY book, yoo BETcha'

[DuncanWaring]

There, but for the grace of God, go I.

[Boogieman]

Oh, boy, don’t tell me he once made a joke at the expense of homosexuals as well! Anything but that!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

A high school senior with an unopened case of beer in his vehicle. Horrors!

[Bayan]

This will be the end of his political career because it is so much more serious than the history of our dope smoking, coke snorting President.

[MeshugeMikey]

Its Wonderful to get this out “there” in front of the curve !!

Thank you

How relevant!

And yet we still know next to nothing about Soetoro’s life before he became a State Senator in Illinois.

[a fool in paradise]

Is that anything like being a member of the Choom Gang smoking dope all the time, bogarting the joint?

Is that anything like spending 20 years being personally mentored by a racist hate mongering “preacher”?

Is that anything like smoking crack in the backseat of a car while engaging in a homosexual act?

[PLOM...NOT!]

Cry me a freaking river!! Will we ever get info on baby Brocks sordid life?

[Regulator]

One more good qualification for Ted!

[BigEdLB]

The world is coming to an end because Ted Cruz drank beer as a high schooler... This is on the level with the meteor that killed the dinosaurs that hit the Yucatan 67 million years ago... /sarc

[Michael.SF.]

Obviously this means that Cruz, is sloppy drunkard, probably an alcoholic and is unfit to hold higher office.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

I thought Minor’s records were sealed? I will give him a pass on this!

[struggle]

OMG! He was honest about a fact that would have remained secret even if he told no one.
