Rat is wrestling slang for groupie. That's probably what he meant. Just going for the smark vote.

Ted Cruz IS Brown Jenkin in a not-too-surprising reveal.

This is one of the best sentences I've ever heard.

What!?

Did the universe have a stroke?

That didn't come out quite right, did it, Ted?

Context:

"And what is striking is Donald�s henchman, Roger Stone, had for months been foreshadowing that this attack was coming. It�s not surprising that Donald�s tweet occurs the day before the attack comes out. And I would note that Mr. Stone is a man who has 50 years of dirty tricks behind him. He�s a man for whom a term was coined for copulating with a rodent. Well, let me be clear: Donald Trump may be a rat, but I have no desire to copulate with him."

Is there still time to repeal the 22nd Amendment? Sanders is the only likeable candidate, but he's also perilously close to a "get off my lawn" geezer.

Still not quite sure of the context. Trump stole Ted's candy?
