Presidential candidate Ted Cruz loved to argue as a Harvard student and boasted he'd get the best grades in his class, only to lose out to two other classmates.
In a series of exclusive interviews with Metro, several of his former classmates painted a complex portrait of the Tea Party's most beloved presidential candidate.
Laurence Tribe, a longtime Harvard law professor, said Cruz took his constitutional law class, challenged his teacher in interesting and "invariably right-leaning" ways at every turn.
Tribe said Cruz bragged to many of his classmates that he would receive the highest grade in the class, which had more than 150 students. That, said Tribe, alienated some. Tribe said Cruz received an A on the blindly graded final, but two people received an A+.

Are you sure you wanna know, huffpo?
Keep reading, it’s not all snark.

Boy, Somebody else needs to announce!!!
More than a year before the election, with Cruz nowhere near the nomination, the media are mining Cruz’s college years for “gotcha” material, yet - to this day - Obama’s college years remain largely a mystery, of no interest to the media.
Huffpo, it must feel really weak to believe an ideology that denies the existence of truth while having to plan your every move so that your lies will look as much as possible like truth.
How about your quota boy president, Huff?
But we already know he was a loser.
What was Obama like In college?
oh that’s right....it’s a secret.
Hannity bemoaned that much of today's media "reporters" is being hired by this obamanation of an administration. :(
Nice assessment by Dershowitz
Because no one remembered him being there.
Full of weasel words.
