Splitting hairs. And if he is “establishment” why is McConnell opposed to him? You can’t have it both ways.
I know what you are saying. It was not Cruz himself Mcconnell is against. It’s the guy running in Indiana.
Why not? You sure seem to when it comes to who can run for president, or not. Maybe you need to do some more research. Lol.
Go Trump

Speaking of both ways....cRuz’s campaign (not his superPAC...that donated $500K to Carly) donated $250K to Midge McConnell’s NRSC...at a time when Midge and Thad were in tightly contested races, against TEA opponents.
McConnell play acts like he doesn’t care for cRuz, and vice versa. All part of the DC shell game :(
Here’s a little history of what was taking place, around that time....
*January 2014 – Cruz announces he will not support any challengers in ’14 mid-term elections.
*March/April 2014 – Cruz supporting Mitch McConnell. (Donation made to NRSC)
*June 2014 – McConnells full back-stabbing reaches sunlight over McDaniel in Mississippi and protection of Thad Cochran.
*July/August 2014 – Cruz says he doesn’t support McConnell any longer, yet remains on NRSC.
*December ’14 Post election announces he’s leaving the NRSC.
*Feb/March ’15 Meets with Paul Ryan and constructs road map for CoC requested, TPP trade deal.
*April ’15 Pens open letter promoting TPA with Paul Ryan
*May ’15 Creates “Fast Track” trade rider to attach to TPA changing vote threshold for approval/disapproval to simple majority – thereby insuring it’s passage. Also votes down amendment requiring congressional notification prior to China/Russia joining deal.
*May ’15 Becomes first candidate to announce presidential bid.
*June/July ’15 – Votes against his own TPA bill (cover) even though the rider he created insures it’s passage.
