So if he ever killed it GQP would praise him for eliminating a lib dog. Just be glad he did not strap it to the roof of a plane while going on family vacation. Republicans hate animals, remember trump, and environmental destruction and shooting endangered animals for fun.

Probably even arrested. All Ted has to do is go on Fox News to apologize and he'll get nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

in a video I saw. He tired to kiss them and they pulled away. Of course, can't judge them on one video, but I can imagine he is insufferable to live with. I can picture him explaining something to them in that annoying condescending manner he used on Diane Feinstein a few years back and the girls rolling their eyes. The only person in the world who likes the sound of his voice is Ted Cruz.

...having him as a father (or in Heidi’s case, a husband)?

Ted got caught in MULTIPLE lies and used them as his excuse, not just locally, but on NATIONAL media!! They KNOW he lied. Repeatedly. Their friends and classmates know he lied. How do young girls cope with that???

AOC raised over $1 million for Texas relief, Beto and friends made over 151,000 phone calls checking on Texans, and Joe Biden sent generators and blankets.

Now CanCoupQruz is working hard to cover his own ass, still.

Dinesh D'Souza was excusing Cruz yesterday or the day before, claiming that there was really nothing Cruz could be doing about the situation in Texas, so it was no big deal for him to fly off to Mexico to get away from oppressive conditions at home and seek a better life for him and his family. Because raising money for other people or making phone calls is just too much to expect from a Republican Senator.

Last report I read, everything's in a warehouse waiting for someone to say where they need to be used.

In the meantime, Beto and other Democratic officials, including the Mayor of Houston, and even AOC have been doing whatever they can to actually HELP people.

I don't know if you saw the Chris Hayes All In show last night, but Hayes talked about how these Republicans, since Congress got rid of 'earmarks,' have just become a sort of conservative peanut gallery, and don't really see representing their constituents as being part of their job description.

Hayes talked about how Biden and Democrats in Congress are talking about bringing back 'earmarks.' As with anything, there is abuse, but having earmarks is better policy than not having them.

I wish I could be alive in about 50 years when the Cruz daughters make the rounds on the 'Today Show' and 'The View' selling their book about the horror of growing up in the Ted Cruz house.

So, it's only natural that it was the first thing that came to mind for Raphael when he needed an excuse.
