she seems too honest to want her dad's stench on her

But I hope both sides don't go crazy. We shouldn't use a 13-year-old as a "gotcha," and hopefully the conservatives who always say don't drag a person's kids into an argument will actually do that for once.

Let the Cruz family have their privacy unless Ted does something stupid like send her to conversion therapy, etc.

her, what she might encounter in that delusional family.

But I just HAVE to assume that she doesn't like her husband that much since he refused to defend her from Trump calling her ugly, and maybe if it's not the case she's more liberal than Ted, she at least loves her daughter more and will defend her.

And then we'll see a real test of Cancun Cruz' fondness for groveling.

She clearly is in distress about her father and felt the need to speak out. But she is awfully young to be sharing this in public.
I hope she has a support system.

at least her mother supports her. No hope for his side of the family at all.

Of course it’s all about him. How could she do this to him?

Ugh

Good luck to her.

CONway family kitchen table.

all over again. I hope she can stick to her guns

I have a hard time accepting Claudia Conway's "abuse" after it all ended when she got on American Idol with her parent cheering her on.

that all is peace and harmony in THAT house either.

She looks like him so she's definitely his daughter. I also hope she's safe from rabid folks. It's not easy having shitty parents

You're right. Kids are often different. Mine certainly are and it's a good thing. 1964-1982 has passed. Their time to be them

until his son came out. Then nothing.

Will the parents be like typical Republicans and accept it because it's happening in THEIR family?! For the daughter's sake, I do hope so but I hate that Repukes are all about being anti everything until it falls within their family!

Sometimes they are the most zealous

Am I right? I don't think this is a topic that should be discussed here on DU.

Under-age family of politicians should be off-limits. Once upon a time, privacy was respected for family members.

Just sayin'

So it's already in the public eye. I don't think this should be ignored.

Her dad and his friends are complete assholes.

It was cringe-worthy in the extreme. It was clear that that room wasn't overflowing with love and affection for the creep.

Why is anything a teen is doing a topic for discussion?

Her feelings are valid.

I’m both happy for her and encouraged that a 13 year old knows and owns her orientation. Not so long ago there was a lot of confusion around that subject for people that age. Hell, for people of any age come to think of it. Progress.

Anyone remember this?

...follow lock step with everything they say. In the words of the late great Fred Willard from "A Mighty Wind", I would like to say.... I DON'T THINK SO!
