One of the strangest and most intriguing “endorsements” that Sen Ted Cruz has gotten for his run for the president was from his old Harvard Law professor, Alan Dershowitz. Professor Dershowitz proclaimed Cruz to be one of the most brilliant students he ever had while on The Kelly File. That is quite a compliment considering that Dershowitz is a down the line liberal, and Cruz is running as the most conservative candidate for president since Ronald Reagan.

But Cruz’s former roommate and current Hollywood wannabe Tweeted that Cruz was a poopy head, so I’ll believe that instead.

Ah, the great legal scholar Dershowitz. The very same one who traveled many times aboard the Lolita Express, owned by convicted pedo and blackmailer Epstein? Who had sex with Epstein’s underaged sex slave Virginia multiple times, including on the plane?

It seems like there are a dozen Cruz alumni all very negative to Cruz, many of whom calling him “creepy,” or complaining of his love for walking around the women’s dorm in his bath robes and slippers.

I wonder if the Trump / Cruz convention debate could be settled with a promise to put Ted Cruz on the Supreme Court in Scalia’s empty seat.

Because most highly intelligent people lack common sense. It’s true - they don’t function well on so many levels - other than in a classroom.

So he was a “brilliant student”. Great.

What is at issue is his character, not his intelligence.

My best friend’s first roommate was Wiccan. She said my bff was creepy. As for the bathrobe and slippers, I can’t even name the amount of guys who did that. If Cruz hadn’t done that they’d be accusing him of closeted homosexuality.

Supreme Justice as the fourth one planned for next year. We all are sinners.....but we don’t preach to others. Just my option.

Two comments:

1) Dershowitz also said Cruz's best friend was a black student (from Jamaica I think), the two were 'inseparable' and both were brilliant.

2) I have found Dershowitz to be a rarity: an honest liberal.

I would love to see that. I’m for Cruz, but will vote for Trump. Since it looks that way, Cruz on SCOTUS would be amazing.

Well, we are back to how brilliant he his.

That recitation of Green Eggs and Sham proved it because James Carville was impressed. *snort*

That was Ted's college buddy that ran a scam with him down in the Caribbean somewhere.
