Rat is wrestling slang for groupie. That's probably what he meant. Just going for the smark vote.

Ted Cruz IS Brown Jenkin in a not-too-surprising reveal.

This is one of the best sentences I've ever heard.

What!?

Did the universe have a stroke?

That didn't come out quite right, did it, Ted?

Context:

"And what is striking is Donald’s henchman, Roger Stone, had for months been foreshadowing that this attack was coming. It’s not surprising that Donald’s tweet occurs the day before the attack comes out. And I would note that Mr. Stone is a man who has 50 years of dirty tricks behind him. He’s a man for whom a term was coined for copulating with a rodent. Well, let me be clear: Donald Trump may be a rat, but I have no desire to copulate with him."

Is there still time to repeal the 22nd Amendment? Sanders is the only likeable candidate, but he's also perilously close to a "get off my lawn" geezer.

Still not quite sure of the context. Trump stole Ted's candy?
