My hubby was trying to get me to look and see what was hanging out of Cruz's nose. I refused because I just didn't want to know (ick!) and was busy here on DU at the time.

So, it could possibly be true.

Then the Trump rebuttal to Rubio's alluding to him have a small penis was being talked about, next thing you know I was all in.

It was actually an amazing event to witness. It was part MMA, part WWE and part slap-stick bugger eating, dick measuring. It has all the earmarks of a hit reality TV show.

FOX should have made it PPV for $49.99. They'd be rolling in the dough right now!

Seriously. Ted is out now.

Imagine that. You spend your life in politics, rising to the top. You finally run for president, spend millions on your campaign--only to end it all by eating your own booger during a presidential debate.

He's immunizing himself against...himself with every booger.

Tough way to end your political career, he would have gotten more pleasure out of a good old fashioned sex scandal. Or maybe not, he's a weird dude.

The entire GOP establishment, including the media and the debate monitors, had their sights set on shooting down Trump since rMoney's Thursday morning ramblings, and THIS happens...finishing Cruz's already dwindling hopes for nomination.

Looks like it's pretty much Trump vs. "Little Marco" from here on. I'll bet Rancid Penis is popping some heavy-duty narcotics today.
