Cruz, to be clear, is a first term Senator, not a DC-insider and did not make a “career in politics” in DC.
Some may be confused by the accusation that a career in politics means a DC career in politics.
Cruz’s Texas political career, no doubt, lead lawyer for the conservative state and all that (never governor), but let’s not forget DC insiders/politicians hate Cruz.
I would prefer Cruz over any of the other GOP contenders , but let's make no mistake about it ... he's as much an insider as anyone in D.C.
