Ted Cruz: Voters should 'spank' Hillary Clinton

[Techno-Druid]

"Was Secretary Clinton awake or asleep when four Americans were being murdered? We don't know to this day," Cruz told supporters at a coffee shop in Charles City, Iowa. "We do know Hillary told her daughter Chelsea, 'Well gosh, I knew it was a terrorist attack,' while we were out telling the American people it wasn't. You know, I'll tell you, in my house, if my daughter Catherine, the 5-year-old, says something she knows to be false, she gets a spanking."

Weird comparison...I mean a really weird comparison...

I wonder how much more support Republicans would have if they'd stop fixating on this bullshit and address their opponent's legitimate flaws.

Honestly I don't even think most of these politicians are even in reality half the time, democract or republican... It's a sad day and age for politics...

Well that's the point. If they'd go after problems with Hillary's policy, it might actually force the Democrats to field a candidate worth voting for...instead of the candidate we have to vote for just to keep the lunatics on the other side out of office.

He's bragging about the fact that he spanks a 5 year old for lying? It's like he's trying to be the most unlikeable dick possible.

but it shows he's "tough" on X policy. whatever policy needed to be enforced by spanking a 5 year old, obviously.

"Ted Cruz beats child to prove a point"

I usually don't do the whole "wouldn't do that if they were X" but...would he say that if she wasn't a woman? Things would get strange up there if he started talking about spanking the other guys up there. But hey, I'm not here to question what he's into.

Yeah, getting some weird vintage sexism vibes going on here... Reminds me of the weird vintage coffee ad...

Cruz lies his ass off. http://www.politifact.com/personalities/ted-cruz/

I think Cruz just outed his fetish. He wants America to spank him... hard.

They can't attack Hillary on policy because people will immediately contrast those to the republican offerings, and they are so much worse.

So republicans attack hillary on the minimum wage.... big vote loser
on climate change..... big vote loser
on regulation of wall street (which they want to deregulate)..... big vote loser
on gay marriage.... big vote loser
on legalization of marijuana.... big vote loser
on wanting to raise taxes on the rich..... big vote loser
etc, etc.

They have no choice but to attack Clinton via personal smears because they will lose the policy battle if they engage in it. That said Clinton still isn't that great of a candidate but the other side are oh-so much worse to most voters, and they know it too.

I myself am not for Hillary becoming president, I'd much rather have Sanders or even Carson, but Ted Cruz is a bit of a weirdo making this statement.

Well if they didn't fabricate stuff like this they might have to spend time on their policies which tend to be absolutely horrible. Especially someone like Ted Cruz who is a terrible person.

But her bad policy ideas (Internet censorship, regulation of video games, etc) are all conservative talking points. They can't attack her for their own ideas.

People who don't care about Benghazi would never vote Republican to being with

Yes they would and do. Around ~40% of the voters will vote Republican, no mater what they do. Same with Democrat. It is the remaining ~20% that actually decide anything.

I like to make up numbers too, I think 80% of voters enjoy fake statistics as well

What is wrong about spanking a 5 year old who lies? I was spanked when I was little. Know what it taught me? Respect, and not to lie.

Or is spanking "abuse."?

And he isn't saying anything odd. Just saying voters should call out Hilary on her bull, which some do, but others ignore every flaw she has.

Ted Cruz is kind of weird to begin with. He does that creepy soft speaking about things and for some reason he reminds me of a stereotypical pedophile in his appearance and demeanor.

Or issues that actually matter. Economy for one thing... other than saying 'DERP! I IS GONNA CRATE JERBS!' actually stop treating us like a bunch of first graders at story time and come up with a fucking plan.
