Ploy to get Cruz’s signature in Communist Manifesto backfires

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz autographed a copy of a young man’s Communist Manifesto while campaigning in Indiana on Thursday.

But the constitutional lawyer was not about to be tricked in a ploy by a student to get a signature ironically inside the cover of a “economic book” whose beliefs he opposes.

The GOP presidential candidate signed his name, but only after scribbling a note for the owner.

“Millions have suffered because of this,” Cruz wrote. He also told the man he was writing that “as the son of a Cuban immigrant whose family has seen firsthand just exactly what Communism [does].”
