Ted Cruz challenges Ron Perlman to wrestle... Gym Jordan?



Ted Cruz ✔@tedcruz

Listen Hellboy. You talk good game when you’ve got Hollywood makeup & stuntmen. But I’ll bet $10k—to the nonpolitical charity of your choice—that you couldn’t last 5 min in the wrestling ring w/ @Jim_Jordan w/o getting pinned. You up for it? Or does your publicist say too risky?

Ron Perlman ✔ @perlmutations

PS: You’re lucky for this guy Matt. If it weren’t for him you’d be the ugliest politician walking. @mattgaetz

Ted defended Gym Jordan more than he defended his wife.

Never mind: I had so many visions of alternatives but each of them would probably lead to the post being removed for obscenity. So I’ll pass this time…

Jim Jordan is 56. Perlman might be a bigger guy overall, but that's a big age difference.

but Jordan did not call for it, Cruz did. So I know he could squash Cruz without much effort.

When you read his book you find that he beat the heavier stronger man by using strategy and no small amount of skill.



Red is Liberal Party, blue is Conservative Party.

They're so brave hiding behind their Twitter accounts.

So brave they offer up their colleague to beat up an elderly man.

They are wimpy bullies.

Not a lick of sense among them. Not an ounce of maturity, either. I bet they think they're the popular cool guys, too.
