Well, now, Senator Cruz, I see where you're into challenging other men to fight other men. That's

not how it's usually done, dude. Usually, if one wants to "throw down the gauntlet", so to speak, and hope to intimidate another, they personalize it. As in "I, Raphael Cruz, challenge Mr. Perlman to a fight."

Childish? Of course. Silly? Absolutely. Nerdily out of touch? You betcha. But, IF you're going to get all "High Noon" about someone's tweet, that's how it's done.

And, since you favor picking on older prospective combatants, I am 71, have both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, could stand to lose a few pounds and haven't been in a good dust-up for several years. But, please, Senator---no surrogates. If you won't put your own skin in the game, just sit down and shut up.

Google Cruz + Pornhub, September 2017, after you are done laughing, wipe down your device and wash your hands.

.

If you ever look at him walking down the hall, he's so much shorter than practically anyone.

Is his chair jacked up or does he sit on books to make himself look taller in Congress?


Benjamin Netanyahu is 5' 9 1/2" tall.




Here's Matt Gaetz with Jordan.



And how most photos are taken at a lower angle to make Jordan appear taller (like Tom Cruise),


===


I wonder why his most of his bios claims he is much taller than he actually is. Just search on Height Weight Jim Jordan .
