La Porte, IN–Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said a kid growing up in his household would have been spanked if they acted out the way a boy did towards him Sunday during a rally.
The pre-teen boy was escorted out by local law enforcement when he told Cruz during a rally, “You suck.” The incident began when Cruz talked about his tax plan and heard the boy’s voice screaming something un-intelligible to him from the crowd.
“Apparently there’s a young boy who’s had some problems,” Cruz said. The child yelled something unknown again at Cruz but then screamed louder, “You suck.”

His responding jab at Trump did seem a bit too smooth, but maybe it was just a boy who was sick of his family obsessing over Cruz and wanted to be somewhere, ANYWHERE, else than being bored to death.
I thought that was his daughter?
Now how do we sneak this kid into a Hillary rally?
“Ted isn’t offering solutions.”
Actually he is. It’s just no one is listening.

I agree, and I totally loathe Crooze.
I don’t like it when kids speak disrespectfully to adults, regardless of whether or not they’re correct, even if the adult is as obnoxious as Crooze.
I am not a Cruz supporter, but you don’t teach or allow your children to be rude and Senator Cruz was proper in putting the BOY in his place.
I would agree if Cruz had worked a Trump smear into this incident.
Levin and Linbaugh will be all over this today. How dare Trump attack a poor little kid in the audience!!!!
It’s ...
Its’ ...
Unpresidential!
[Oh, wait, it was Cruz. Nevermind.]
[I am not a Cruz supporter, but you don’t teach or allow your children to be rude and Senator Cruz was proper in putting the BOY in his place.]
Where I come from, its even MORE rude for a stranger to “put my kid in his place”. No matter if my kid is expressing his 1A right or not.
“Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said a kid growing up in his household would have been spanked if they acted out the way a boy did towards him...”
Ted is right on this. My Dad would’ve worn my butt raw for that kind of disrespect.
“This was most likely an action designed and executed by Team LyinTED”
Do you sincerely believe that?
Yes.
Sincerely yours,

I think it was a plant so Cruz could get in the news cycle.
It is almost to the point where you can’t have a meaningful discussion on how best to solve the issues that affect us daily.
Doing taxes on a post card is a reference to a flat tax and this is a truly GREAT idea. Taxes should and must be paid by ANYONE who avails themselves of services provided by the public sector.
Sillier than writing "I win" on a postcard and sending that in?
I am certainly no Cruz fan but if this were my kid he would get a smack for being obnoxious and embarrassing his parents.
Ultimately I blame the parents (if they are even known) who allowed this little jerk to think it was OK to say such a thing.
Cruz lost credibility when he didn’t condemn the violence at Trumps Rallies. I don’t think the kid should be encouraged to disrespect elders.
The kid should have been there, and he should not be used in this way by his parent(s).
I would have been in trouble, but my parents would not have taken me to see someone they didn’t support.
Plain speaking used to be favored over politeness in this country. Insistence on politeness at all times got us politically correct speech and is part of why we are in the current mess.
I suppose if it were your child in the old fairy tale about the Emperor and his ‘new clothes’ you would chastise him for not phrasing “He’s stark naked!!!” in a more ‘polite’ fashion?
