(19,377 posts)I heard a take on Ted Cruz recently which compared him to a wet sock filled with cooked noodles, and that seemed about right.

(3,721 posts)...scared shitless of trump and his gang...
...to allow yourself and family to be so denigrate and humiliated by the likes of trump, and then to go down on him, makes cruz a gutless wuss in my eyes...
...and why would anyone vote for a gutless scared shitless wonder instead of someone with balls?
...another great mystery of republicanism...

(2,710 posts)People thought Rick Perry was dumb so he started wearing glasses. People thought Ted Cruz was a wimp so he started sporting a beard. It's all about appearances with Repugs. Doesn't change the fact that they are who they are.

(22,591 posts)Just look at how many of them have been reduced to crawling on their bellies and saying any ridiculous thing that they think will help them gain his favor. Cruz has lots of company. (Kevin McCarthy, I'm looking at you!)

(25,048 posts)If he had any spine, during one of the Republican debates, he could have walked over to Trump and just punched him in the face. Maybe twice, once for his wife the other for his father. That's what a "real man" would have done.
The GOP base would have loved it, Trump would have been finished and Teddy would have had a legitimate shot at the nomination by removing Trump.
Hitting the bully would have stopped him in his tracks and Teddy would've have shown he has a spine.
(Hysterical laughter ensues.)

Cruz accused the Wyoming Republican of acting more like a Democrat for criticizing Donald Trump, and Cheney questioned the Texas Republican's manhood for failing to defend his wife and father from the former president's insults, and "Morning Joe" watched with delight.
"When we are kids, we'd stick our hands on the hot stove -- ow -- and you don't keep doing it," Scarborough said. "Ted, he keeps going after Liz Cheney. Just move along, walk past the hot stove, because she's going to talk about he's not a real man for not standing up for his wife. I mean, my God, and she said he's not a real man for not standing up for his daddy. It's hard for me to believe, because he's from Texas. Most men I know in Texas, if you insult their wife or their daddies? I know Texans, they don't put up with that, and Liz understands, she's from Wyoming. In Wyoming, they don't take kindly to people accusing their daddy of murder and calling their wife ugly, but here is poor Ted, he's just going right along with it. Thanks to Liz Cheney, we're reminded of that once again."
During the 2016 primaries, Cruz questioned Trump's fitness for the White House and warned Republicans against his candidacy, but then he allowed the GOP nominee to slur his closest family members.
