I don't know if this proves Ted Cruz is clever or has
too much idle time on his hands...
Long before Ted Cruz became a senator from Texas, he was a gamer.
He’s known for being pugilistic on the Senate floor, but sometimes he’d
rather be fighting cartoon zombies on his iPhone.
It’s an
uncommon lens through which to view Cruz, a controversial conservative
figure who is now running for the highest political office in the
country. Cruz’s video game habit fits into a largely hidden geek persona
that lurks just behind his better-known public reputation as an
obstinate Tea Party firebrand.
At the moment, Cruz is playing
“Plants vs. Zombies,” a game where users collect sunlight points to feed
plants who fight off waves of zombies; “Candy Crush,” the puzzle game
where he claims he’s in the 217th level; and “The Creeps!,” a tower defense game.
His video game addiction is so severe, Cruz says, he has to proactively deny himself the ability to spend time on it.
