    I will believe it when I see it. This asshole is always behind in polls but somehow manages to pull +5 to +10 advantage at the last moment. Do not believe in any of these “news”

      Biden was only behind Trump by 600,000 votes in 2020. Biden actually received more votes in TX than NY, but we still need better voter registration and turnout rates.

      Calling Ted Cruz “Rafael” is incredibly lazy. The man now licks The Donald’s boots after calling his wife ugly and left Texas to hide in Mexico during a disaster. There is so much more material.

      Rafael* Cruz.

      He’s not Italian. He is Latino*. A self-hating one. I’m embarrassed for him.

      *You could make a case indicating that Italians have Latin roots, but you know what I mean.

          Yet somehow he could run for president. I didn’t really get that one, or how he could be so critical of Obama’s citizenship status when he himself wasn’t born in the US.

    Obligatory: when he was at Princeton, there was a tradition where during the first snowfall of the year, the sophomores would make a lap around their dorm naked. Somehow, Ted Cruz took a wrong turn and instead of waiting for him, everyone locked him out of the dorm.
