David Hogg Got People to Donate $10K to Post Up a Giant Trump Ted Cruz Tweet in Texas

Somehow, even with the tonsil stones, Zodiac killer rumors, and Craig Mazin tweets about Cruz’s college masturbation habits, Cruz managed to stay in the Republican primary race until the very end. But before he folded to our current nightmare, Trump said a number of mean things about him, and now Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg has gotten people to donate almost $10,000 to post one of his tweets on a billboard in Texas.
