I like Ted but I agree and would like to add that he has no ballsack.
The closest he came was when he called out the media at the Reagan library debate. That was awesome! Other than that he’s just a wallflower, letting Trump clear the path and take the big risks. This is why I prefer Trump. Cruz is good, but he leans too much on the side of your everyday politician.
