Cruz at the Movies

It was widely noted that Senator Ted Cruz recently borrowed a line from the Michael Douglas film "The American President," in his ongoing battle with Donald Trump. But we were surprised to find that Senator Cruz has also used lines from "Jerry Maguire," "The Usual Suspects," "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," and even "The Princess Bride."

We look forward to Senator Ted picking up some lines from "Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies"--we can hear him now, saying "I'll get you yet, you wascally wabbit!"

Other US presidential candidates may follow his lead; e.g., Senator Bernie Sanders after Hillary Clinton complains of defeats in Alaska, Washington and Hawaii: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

Marco Rubio to Jeb Bush, apologizing for attacks on his former mentor: "Nothing personal, Jeb. It was just business."

And finally, Megyn Kelly to Messrs. Trump, Cruz and Kasich after none has won enough delegates for the nomination: "The problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that."

Or maybe not. Here's looking at you, kid.
