Ted Cruz is among the most hated men in Washington, reviled by leaders of both parties as an ideological hard-liner loyal only to the far-right of the conservative movement.
But racing down an Iowa highway on a snowy weekend morning, a solemn Cruz suggested some of his Republican rivals for president have amped up their rhetoric too much, especially on policy toward people who are in the U.S. illegally.

Tone does matter. Absolutely. So does not playing the media game of in-fighting amongst Republicans for the press's amusement. Thankfully Cruz seems to know *and* practice this.
