Ted Cruz Thinks a Hoop is Called a “Basketball Ring”

The man fumbled a bit with the tape measure as Cruz made a cringe-worthy slip-of-the-tongue in this basketball-crazy state. He fought for one brief and shining moment when the Republican establishment turned to him as an alternative to Donald Trump that he might be the Republican nominee.

“The point of that observation is the power brokers in Washington want this race to be over and the media over and over again is repeating Donald Trump’s spin that the race is over”, he said. “I think you’ll find that’s exactly the same measurement as our gym back in Hickory”. Or Hillary Clinton calling Indiana “Indianoplace” in an email?

“I have said from the beginning the most important attribute for any running mate is that he or she should be prepared to step in and fulfill the role as president – be commander in chief, keep this country safe, and champion jobs, freedom, and security”, Mr. Cruz said. Trump, coming off a sweep on Tuesday in five Northeastern states, hopes another victory in IN will make it almost impossible for Cruz to play on. “The eyes of the nation are gazing on this state”.

Republican presidential candidate senator Ted Cruz made four different stops in central in on Monday. Cruz, along with Ohio Gov. John Kasich, has been mathematically eliminated from winning the nomination on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention in July.

Cruz attempted to rebound from the gaffe on Wednesday.

Cruz was speaking at a rally in Franklin, Indiana.

Ted Cruz names Carly Fionina as his VP pick in a desperate bid to shake up his campaign. “If this was a Donald Trump rally, I’d be encouraging people to hurt him”.
