That certainly doesn’t justify Cruz’s tactics.
He does remind me a lot of Nixon... after Nixon went a little batty. However before becoming president, Nixon was a sincere guy who was a veteran who got along with other people. If you look into Nixon's history before he became president Ted couldn't really hold a candle to him. Nixon put his reputation on the line fighting communists who had infiltrated our government. Ted is a nasty lawyer who thinks he is better than everyone who has managed to offend just about everyone at one time or another. He and the Cruz excusers do not want you to look into his past because once you get past the Cruz campaign narrative... it is not very pretty.
It was a tweet from CNN and do you have evidence that he personally was even involved?
