It’s a reference to “ratf*cker” — the nickname given Roger Stone because of his political tactics. Cruz didn’t make the term up.

Right, but he brought it up, and his use of it is incomprehensible. Quite often, Ted Cruz is not quite as cunning with the English language as he perceives himself to be. I think his attempt was to call Trump a "ratf*cker" without using the term, but what tumbled off his golden tongue was "I like to have sex with rats, but I don't want to have sex with Trump even though he is a rat."

Not even Cruz supporters can look at that statement and beam with pride.

I wouldn’t be too sure, :).
