It is amazing how Cruz has gone from anti-establishment to being seen as THE ESTABLISHMENT GOP! Cruz, to me is the anti=establishment GOP person in the race, not Trumpeter.
I can understand why you would see him that way. He opposed much of what happens in the Senate.
I am just adding in his familial Goldman Sachs connection, his Bush money connections, etc.
It appears to me that he wants to be president and is running as an outsider.
But like I said, I know many people who share your view.
