How about not speaking at a gun range where there guns or pictures of guns everywhere you look?

No. Fuck that. This was very clearly inappropriate and he gave an appropriate response.

Cruz has a point. However, I still insist on widespread dissemination and mockery of the obligatory photo of Cruz eating a corndog at the State Fair. It’s the simple pleasures in life you treasure as the years roll by.

Not to be superficial or anything, but that picture isn’t his best.

(shudder)

Not really. First of all, as someone pointed out, it’s a gun range. Secondly, Cruz, who is for all intents and purposes treated as a white man, does not get the kind of violence directed towards him that Obama (a black man) or Clinton (a white woman) does. So, when he starts going on about how “if it was Obama or Clinton”, he’s playing the Liberal Media Bias trope to be the victim. He could have said that the picture was in poor taste without having to drag anyone else into it and he would have been right on the money. Instead, he had to play the Victim, which is bull in this case.

Dubya was also framed by a halo shape on the ship in the completely stage-managed Mission Accomplished speech.

I’m falling down on the job, here, as I saw the photo and I didn’t even connect the gun-to-head shot. I’m betting the vast majority didn’t. He was at a shooting range, for dog’s sake! He and his handlers totally bungled that one – they are the ones who should check the optics.

Wow. Victim Much?
Everything, everywhere is all a GIANT CONSPIRACY to deny Ted Cruz his God-Given Divine Right to the Presidency.
What. A. Tool.

the key here is to remember… a good guy with a photo of a gun will beat a bad guy with a photo of a gun every time… NRA wisdom…

This guy’s just a living, breathing disaster to himself, to his party, to the Senate, to everything around him.

At the same event, he made gun jokes a couple of days after the Charleston massacre. Now, he invents a ridiculous, entirely made up victimhood complaint about the background of a photograph that he put himself in front of!

Cruz is the candidate for people who go through live angry about their own fuck-ups.

So Cruz is complaining about a photo of him next to the image of a gun, at a shooting range, while celebrating the 2nd Amendment?

The same guy who defended the rebel flag as a positive symbol, chafed at those offended by its image, and compared its removal to “a Stalinist purge”?

That guy?
