As a Texan, and someone who has met him some years back in Austin during a function where he was the guest speaker, I dislike him immensely- and it is not hard to understand why he is universally disliked. You really have to meet him to get a sense of just how phony and narcissistic and downright creepy the guy really is.

As far as his record as Texas senator, he has one of the worst records of any senator for not showing up for the job we elected him to do- and he's known for his 'flip flops' on key issues.
I don’t know which key issue “flip flops” you are talking about.
On the “gang of 8 bill” Jeff Sessions backed up Cruz’s explanation...correct?
As far as his voting ratings given by conservative groups...he is usually at or near the top.
In my mind, I would place Cruz in the top 2-3 US senators.
His voting attendance record is not what it should be. I think I read where he missed 9.5% of the votes “before” he announced his presidential candidacy.
As far as Cruz being liked personally...I don’t really care if an official is “liked” by others as long as he votes correctly.
You used the word narcissistic describing Cruz...surely you don’t think Trump isn’t narcissistic do you?
