Robert Reich? Course he’s also too stupid and too collectivist to be POTUS, so he’s like thrice disqualified.
I don't think McBackStabbingAisleReachingRINOAsshat's "tiny problem" refers to his height.
The day that I was trying to find out, I didn’t, but I got the impression that he was about 5’8” to hopefully a 5’10”, but I came away thinking that he was not tall.
I have no idea how tall Dewhurst is. I’ve never met him. Perhaps that’s why he’s lost runoffs in 2 consecutive election cycles for 2 different statewide offices.
Ted Cruz was very energetic and very well organized in running for 2 as statewide offices in a very populous geographically large state. He talked to lots of groups and talked with thousands of people throughout Texas, while Dewhurst stayed in Austin and talked to insiders and lobbyists.
A recipe for losing against an active campaign.
Cruz’s poll numbers and the buzz surrounding his campaign scared off several of his would be challengers. Several high profile candidates who said they were running for that senate seat ended up not even filing for that race.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight that counts. It's the the size of the fight in the dog.
Grant was on the short side. His wife said he weighed 135 pounds when he was president.
I think I read somewhere that Andrew Jackson was tall, but very slender, as in the 130lbs. range.
But you STILL wouldn't want to mess with him.
The man who tried to assassinate him got his azz whipped by Jackson and his cane.
Jackson had to be pulled off the guy, or he probably would have beaten him to death.
“The man who tried to assassinate him got his azz whipped by Jackson and his cane.”
I was reading about that the other day. The mental image was quite hilarious. Another favorite fact of mine about Jackson was that he taught his parrot to swear and it swore at his funeral and had to be “escorted” out.
is Hillary really 5-7?
...............
so what tricks will the networks use
to make Hillary look to be
the same height as her opponent?
You have to have a full head of hair too. Sorry Scott Walker.
I thought for sure they’d bring up tiny Rand Paul.
Fleming was a wise man!
My guess is they reached out to all the candidates, and rather than fudge his height, as Rubio and Paul have done, Cruz just didn’t respond.
Which may be why Cruz’s chance is now, before he loses more of what he has.
I really find it difficult to believe that Hillary is 5’7. She looks like a munchkin. if she’s been asked her height she no doubt lied.
Dewhurst is well over 6 feet. From photos, looks about 6-5.
