Ted Cruz should have dragged Trump 'out by the woodshed,' suggests new ad from Richard Linklater
Source: Washington Post
Tough as Texas, the reelection slogan of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) But if Cruz really was as Texas tough as he claims, a new ad by movie director Richard Linklater suggests, he would have dragged President Trump out by the woodshed for insulting his wife and father.
The spot starts out with a shot of a diner check, dated 11/6 Election Day. Then, the camera cuts to a white-haired man sitting in a dimly lit restaurant, its walls lined with Texas license plates and vintage Route 66 road signs, a bottle of red hot sauce on the table. He clutches a diner mug in one hand.
Somebody left something on my door the other day that says, Ted Cruz, tough as Texas, he says, laughing. I mean, come on. The older man actor Sonny Carl Davis looks into the camera with a deadpan stare. If someone called my wife a dog, and said my daddy was in on the Kennedy assassination, I wouldnt be kissing their ass, Davis says with a slight drawl.
He points emphatically at the camera, leaning forward in his seat. You stick a finger in their chest and give em a few choice words. Or you drag their ass out by the woodshed and kick their ass, Ted.

(4,723 posts)Trump totally crapped all over him, and apparently Ted failed to get enough, so he lives up Trump's ass so far that heavy machinery would need to be called in to extract him. Weak.

(11,885 posts)First he's to big a coward or he wouldn't have put up with what he said and falsely claimed about him and his family. Second trump probably has information on Cruz he's taken russian and putin money, and is holding that over him and many others now. Third Cruz is so cowardly he's to scared to vote against any of the issues he wants passed. Cruz is such a fraud and a phony, and has done nothing to help the people of Texas, unless you believe his lies and distortions he is so good at repeating. He voted to take away health care for millions. He voted to destroy Medicaid and Medicare by defunding, and now they have their sights on Social Security next. trump is a crook , and cruz is a serial liar too and corrupt, but he really is nothing but a liar and a coward who can't stand up to someone abusing little children , and that says it all .
