Being too cowardly to defend your father, your wife, or yourself.
Somebody left something on my door the other day that said, "Ted Cruz, Tough as Texas." Hahaha, I mean, come on. If somebody called my wife a dog, and said my daddy was in on the Kennedy assassination, I wouldn't be kissing their ass. You stick a finger in their chest and give them a few choice words. Or you drag their ass out by the woodshed and kick their ass, Ted. Come on.. Ted.
