a sitting-u.s. senator. one of only 100. someone with actual influence -- a former-presidential candidate, nonetheless, groveling at the feet of tucker carlson. which is quite a comedown after groveling if he feet of the president. but all the same, remember when candidate trump insulted his wife's looks? >> i don't get angry often. but you mess with my wife, mess with my kids, that will do it every time. donald, you're a sniveling cowered, and leave heidi the hell alone. >> how many times you think he practiced that one? probably a lot. also the former president also insinuated cruz's father was involved in president kennedy's assassination, among other false claims and insults and remember recently he said running for president and losing was like the greatest experience of his life, the most fun he had in years? don't think it's that fun for his wife. cruz stood firm, then crumbled.
