You obviously do not know the history Mr. Cruz and the State of Texas. Ted Cruz defeated David Dewherst in the run for US Senator. Dewherst was the “Political Elite” in Texas. Dewherst was suppose to win big and was even endorsed by Rick Perry. It also seems that you forgot who won the Texas primary. Of course I would try to forget his losses too if I were a Trump supporter.
Ted beat Dewhurst before it was revealed for who he was. Remember Ted owed his Senate seat to Palin, he said it himself. Who did Palin back this go around? Not Cruz.
