Sen. Ted Cruz’s wife grew from baking bread in SLO to breaking bread with the Washington elite
Presidential politics first captured Heidi Nelson Cruz’s attention in the 1980s, when the 12-year-old read a Time magazine piece about the Ronald Reagan-Walter Mondale race while working at her San Luis Obispo bread stand.
She would later become a Capitol Hill intern, a policy aide on the George W. Bush campaign and economic director for the Western Hemisphere with the National Security Council. But while government and politics might have been her calling at one time, nothing in her background could have prepared her for this summer, when her husband, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, helped force a shutdown of the federal government.
“We were blessed to go to good schools and have careers that Ted and I enjoyed,” said Cruz, 41. “But we were in no way well known.”
That all changed, of course, when the newly elected Republican senator from Texas waged a campaign — culminating with a 21-hour speech on the Senate floor — to defund President Barack Obama’s health care program. His ardent stance brought nightly media attention, praise from supporters on the right and harsh criticism from the left.
While he became a darling of the Tea Party — fueling talk of a possible presidential run in 2016 — critics called him “a fraud,” “self-aggrandizing” and “nutty.”
Those words might have bothered some, Heidi Cruz said, but not her husband.
“He has an incredible heart, but he’s not the kind of person that’s trying to do what everybody wants him to do,” she said. “He’s trying to do what he thinks is right, and he has an innate ability to really not worry about things beyond his control.”
The senator’s ability to deflect criticisms — including some from his own party — has affected her own reactions, she said.
Lots of anti-Cruz posters are shrieking that Heidi is in league with the New World Order, the Bilderbergs and the Anti-Christ.
Conspiracy anyone?
but, she worked at Goldmann Sachs! Oh no!!!!!!!
She’s EVIL!!!!!!!!
E-V-I-L !!!!
She’s the alpha for Her Hillary! I’m telling you!
/S
Ted Cruz Ping! I heard she is a freemason :) and something about child sacrifices.
Uh oh... she has been outted...
“At age 12.... She and her brother had a running bread business out at Gopher Glen Apple Farm for six or eight years when they were growing up,”
This isn’t good. Did she have a license? Were the ovens used located in a separate facility from their house? Was the facility inspected on a regular basis?
This is serious and cause for the msm to pour over her past and dig up all the illegal dirt on this illicit operation. </s>
I heard that she has forced dogs and cats to live together.
she’s just crazy enough to do it!
FWIW, countering questions from serious constitutional conservatives, many who gave to jump-start Cruz's campaign, with sarcasm doesn't it help.
It is interesting that his wife’s employer and their work on Trade issues is cited by some as a possible special interest motivator. Jeff Sessions in his May 22 announcement cites Nucor Steel executives as a source of his concern and they have four plants in Alabama but we hear nothing about him being influence by Big Steel interests.
How about Cruz likes Free Trade a little more than stopping the process cold and Sessions wants to stop it cold because Obama is refusing to be transparent just as they both state.
She never donated any of her bread to the homeless.
You know she’s a Goldman Sachs, CFR, NWO, Illuminati, Antisemitic, Zionist, Bilderberg, (Fill in the blanks) plant don’t you? ;-)
I’ll bet that she also gave muffin stumps to the poor.
The brown dog barks at 1200 hours
I also heard that she supports a militant splinter faction of Up With People.
I am looking forward to her time as first lady. I think she will bring a touch of conservative class to the White house.
Can women even be freemasons?
