A mock campaign ad for Ted Cruz features the senator as a high school senior, with footage reportedly provided by an anonymous former classmate at Houston's Second Baptist School. The clip begins with someone off-camera asking Cruz about his aspirations in life, to which he replies:
"Aspirations? Is that like sweat on my butt? No. No. Oh, I see. What I want to do in life. Well, my aspiration is to, uh... Oh, I don't know, be in a teen tit film like that guy who played Horatio. You know, he was in Malibu Bikini Beach Shop? Well, other than that, uh, take over the world. World domination. You know, rule everything. Rich. Powerful. That sort of stuff."
