So, our fearful ire for that US property magnate presidential candidate can rest for a moment as all eyes turn to his competitor Cruz.

In case you missed it, what with all the excitement of our own lot scrambling for their seats, Donald got trumped at the Iowa caucus and went on a bit of a Twitter tantrum.

Meanwhile, this video of his erstwhile opponent from Texas has been doing the rounds. Pleading for the family vote, it asks what was it like growing up with Ted Cruz?

Awkward with lots of stage direction by the looks of it.

Shudder.

BTW if you want to explore Cruz’s policy positions in depth, the overlords at Google have this nifty feature.
