Some of the most touching moments in the presidential race have been those of Ted Cruz with his daughters. Of course many people still found a way to be douche canoes about it (on more than one occasion), but for the rest of humanity, it's served to show a different side of Cruz and maybe politics in general. Last night was the big TV debut for the little ladies, and they didn't disappoint...

The Ted Cruz daughters have a particular person they’d like to invite to the White House, should their father win presidential election. Asked by Anderson Cooper to reveal who it was, both Caroline and Catherine punted to their mom Heidi who explained they are both big fans of Taylor Swift.

I particularly love the moment where, in an attempt to provide a diplomatic answer to Anderson Cooper's question (regarding her favorite Taylor Swift song), Caroline answers...

"I like all the songs..."

Only to immediately burst out with...

"But my three favorite are "Bad Blood" "Blank Space" and "Wildest Dreams"...

The little lass just couldn't contain herself. SHE FREAKING LOVES TAYLOR SWIFT! In a season filled with talking points and pre-fab answers, it was just refreshing to see the little girls be genuine. Not only that... but actually be willing to provide a strong opinion. She wasn't coached, the answer wasn't rehearsed, these were just two kids being kids. Genuinely.

Also, they're cute. Like, really cute. Not all kids are cute. I know we're obligated to say that they are, but many are not. Yes, that means you Tod. Get your household together, man. Your kids are always sticky. Always sticky.

Of course, you know what happens next. Some idiot reporter is going to reach out to Taylor Swift to try and bait her into blasting Ted Cruz, just because not only are conservatives not allowed to like things, neither are their daughters.

As for the rest of humanity, well, hopefully you can join me in just enjoying a moment of cuteness.

Ted's always been pretty close with his daughters. He spoke of them glowingly in our interview below.
