Shouldn't a big, tough Texas man just be able to whip out his gun and defend himself?
No offense to Canadians, but a Texas man, cruz is not.
He is now. You even elected him. No sending that asshat here. He is Texan now.
locations of birth canals notwithstanding, I know transgender people who are more of a man than he.
I am guessing you just mean transgender women. All transgender men are more of a man than he is.
Hey, now. He adopted pussydom when he left Canada, sure as hell is none here. It's too cold to be a pussy.
One of the reasons he doesn't need a security detail in an airport is that (at least in theory) they stop people from bringing guns into them.
The chances of him being assassinated in an airport are very close to zero. The chances someone might come up to him with criticism, however...
Exactly, surely if he wants to feel safe at the airport he should try and get guns allowed in there.
