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....

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.

Dog eating, choom sharing.....

How many more things can be added to that list

[jazusamo]

LOL! The Houston Comical is relly reaching.

GO TED CRUZ!

[Liberty Valance]

... and on the bright side we now have iron-clad proof he isn’t a muslim.

In my state (I graduated in 1978) you could drink at 18.

Unnamed sources claim they once saw Ted Cruz turn around in a handicapped parking space.

Meanwhile the public still is shielded from the late Gentle Giant’s arrest record.

Woe, he had alcohol as a minor. Really?!? I was thinking he couldn’t be president if he did not have a controlled substance as a kid. Please! Ted Kennedy (drinking and driving in college and off a pier as a 40 year old), Bill Clinton (I did not inhale), George Bush (I was not a saint), Barack Obama (Pot Head and still a smoker).

Just exactly how is this a problem.

[printhead]

So who unsealed a minors’ records?

[Labyrinthos]

Well that’s it, I’m not voting for him.

I'll reserve decision until we know what kind of beer he was drinking.

[Lee'sGhost]

Oshithead can buy and sell drugs and I’m supposed to care about this?

Lamestream media; After more than a decade of failing to report on anything negative about Jug Ears you have forfeited your right to report on ANYTHING associated with anybody on the right.

I just sent them a breaking news alert that Ted played with puppies as a child and the puppies liked it...

Media LOSERS!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Welcome to the Club, Ted!

BREAKING NEWS: Ted Cruz once made a left-hand turn WITHOUT USING HIS TURN SIGNAL!

[nomad]

Good for him, unlike GW, he got it out of the way early.

[2ndDivisionVet]

They found it on his background application for Texas Solicitor General, not in his criminal records.

[SeaHawkFan]

Ted Cruz makes Baden Powell look like a social deviant.

[envisio]

I only wish the media had worked this hard to find crap on Zer0.
From here on out , the media will pounce on Cruz relentlessly.... at least 50 to 1 negative stories compared to the democrat picks.

[faithhopecharity]

but if he starts eating dogs and smoking an opium pipe, he’s eligible !

[catfish1957]

The comical web site is too busy running Mars Alien articles, and what is on Netflix.

What was once an excellent paper has become a proverbial joke.

[chajin]

I'll reserve decision until we know what kind of beer he was drinking.

It's possible he became a sadder Budweiser man because of the incident. Perhaps the publicizing of the ticket, however, will force him to switch to support of Common Coors...
