lol he flies commercial?
Shitbags can be frugal too. Lol. Lord knows his bribes are enough to fly business

There was a somewhat recent pic with his wife looking pretty annoyed at the dude snapping the shot.

"Hey Ted, Ted, Ted, Ted, Ted, Ted Cruz....can you hear me?... hey! hey! Ted! TED! TEDDY! Remember when Trump called your wife a fat pig? Hey, answer me! Hey, Ted listen, listen, listen, listen, over here Ted....Hey. Hey. Ted, will none of those rich dudes let you barrow a private jet? Do you clog the toilets up or what? Ted, Ted, Ted, Teddy! Teddo! Teddoboy!"
He's a fan of deadnames, so he's Rafael.

Not milquetoast conservatives like Beto O'Rourke.
