And what has come of that?
Hopefully something. I’m thinking it might be more than “Make America Great Again” coming from a conman.

And what has come of that?
Maybe Mitch gave Cruz a new committee slot? (/snix)
===================================================
Donald Trump has ignited America's visceral contempt for politicians. Cruz is strangely silent on his political doings----he has yet to highlight even one of the many Senate committees he serves on as a campaign credential......guess he knows the voters would see him as a political hack.

BGRND (WIKI)---Elected US senator in 2012---Canadian-born Cruz was touted as "the first Hispanic or Cuban American to serve as a U.S. Senator" representing Texas.

Between 1999 and 2003, Canadian-born Cruz was the director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission, an associate deputy attorney general at the United States Department of Justice, and domestic policy advisor to U.S. President George W. Bush on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign. He served as Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to May 2008, after being appointed by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.[8]

NOTE Cruz recently renounced his Canadian citizenship.
==================================================
Cruz keeps pumping himself as a latino---a latino born in Canada? In fact, only Cruz's father is Spanish. His mother is the product of Irish and Italian parents. Cruz has dined out on his father's name, very willing to grovel for latino votes.
