Cruz responds to Charlie Sheen’s 2020 invite
Sen. Ted Cuz (R-Texas) took to Twitter to reply to actor Charlie Sheen, who suggested they run on a ticket together for the next presidential election.
“Glad to see @charliesheen embracing conservative principles, but Americans just rejected another political dynasty,” Cruz tweeted, with a photo of Martin Sheen from the hit political TV show “The West Wing.”
Cruz’s joke referenced Charlie Sheen’s father’s role as President Jed Bartlet in “The West Wing,” and also took a swing at president-elect Donald Trump’s presidential rival Hillary Clinton.

{mosads}Cruz and Sheen have traded tweets back and forth since the actor posted wished death upon Trump.
He tweeted Wednesday to his 11.8 million Twitter followers: “Dear God; Trump next please!”
Cruz then replied to the post:
“Glad to see @charliesheen seeking God & following the admonition of 1 Timothy 2:2, but somehow I don’t think that’s what the verse means,” he wrote.
