Bingo! He has been running for President sine he became Sen. He knew he needed Texas so he played Mr. Outsider to curry favor with the Texas voters. He won because the rank and file were mad at Dewhurst including me. Now I realize I was used. How can a transplanted Canadian with a Dad from Cuba and a Mom who lived primarily in other countries understand Texas?
Not to mention a wife that works for Goldman Sachs and was also a DC insider? Cruz spent most of his time in Texas shoring up Texas GOP electeds and leadership to ensure Texas would be in his column.
