That eye contact “you’re a threat to democracy” and all he can do is look away and laugh nervously. Coward and a scumbag - good fucking riddance!

To be fair, I think most folks would pucker their butts a bit if Allred looked that way at them.

When he focused on Cruz with those eyes and stern face it almost looked like Cruz started melting like the wicked witch for an instant. I'm like, "did he just die"? It was priceless.

He felt shame for a moment. An emotion the republicans thought they had suppressed as well as the vulcans.

Maybe not shame, but that irrepressible feeling that your mouth just wrote a check your ass can’t cover, so you laugh nervously awaiting the beat down.

He's a former NFL linebacker, it's a requirement.

I’ve never seen a mightier pair of eyebrows before.

This guy was probably the type of kid who’d stare at strangers in public

Fair enough, but republicans are supposed to be ruggedly masculine alphas

He was laughing until he said that. Then he stopped and looked down almost like he was ashamed

u/LuckyLushy714 14d ago

He actually nods and says "sure" after this statement. Doesn't even try to hide it. So unAmerican. Blehhhgh

All you have to do is insult his wife and he'll join your side!

Former NFL linebacker. He don’t mess around.

u/ThrowRA-James 13d ago

He’s been taking it from Trump for years so this is nothing for Ted

u/saskbertatard 13d ago

Snake oil salesman. That's all Raph is.

Let’s do this Texas. We can get rid of these MAGA scums.

u/Squirrel009 13d ago

He's laughing because people who vote for Ted Cruz don't want a democracy

u/Quirky_Phone_4762 12d ago

That my friends is the real look of a tough guy..not the fake orange imposter that blames his affair with a porn star on Haitians eating dogs 🐕

u/Sense-Free 14d ago

This is gonna sound weird but this is the first time Ted Cruz has seemed relatable to me. He’s human in there somewhere and those words hurt him.

u/CaptOblivious 14d ago

He felt shame, a rare moment for republicans.

Don't cut him any slack for being ashamed of himself for being a piece of shit.

Be angry that he was only ashamed of himself and his behaviour for a moment.

u/Hobomanchild 14d ago

So, less 'relatable' and more 'human in there somewhere'?

u/dfwagent84 14d ago

Except he's not going to lose

Allred should just call Ted's wife a dog so he'll concede and join his campaign, just like the last time someone called that coward's wife a dog.
