The bitch fight at the Houston Comical has begun.M

If this is as far back as they have to go to 'get something on him - pretty pathetic.

But the 'bitch fight' is also starting in FR. One example - posting this piece in the first place.

This shouldn’t hurt his chances any more than Obama’s admitted marijuana and cocaine binges hurt him.

Oh the horror!

If this is the best the media can do, Ted Cruz is in very good shape for background checks.

When I got busted for underage drinking back in high school, the police officer stood in front of us and made us dump it out on the pavement and then gave us a lecture.

But we didn’t get a ticket and he didn’t tell my parents.

MIP?.....lol....

but I'm glad our esteemed DBM has dug deep to find this trash because its soooo important...

we can learn about MIP and teenagers having fights in HS BUT we just can't get the real birth certificate or college records nor health records nor college thesis nor selective service papers from our current prez in the white hut....no, just can't do that...

Honestly I trust a politician who has these minor kid things in their backgrounds more than I trust those who don’t.
