I like Cruz, but man, is he out of touch if he thinks that voters, especially GOP voters, middle of the road voters, etc., want to hear about a grown man having sex with a rat. Not everyone is a DC insider who know what you're talking about.
He was trying to make a clever joke, but man, bad idea.
Unfortunately I think President Hillary is looking more and more likely.
Nobody want to hear a potential President make reference to this kind of stuff.
