I don’t think Cruz thinks much of little Marco. He hasn’t alluded to him by name in his weekly constituent news-emails but he has expressed differing legislative views. And Ted doesn’t seem to have a conciliatory personality. Or, some say any personality. FWIW, i think Ted would be much better suited to SCOTUS than elected office. I will probably be scourged for seeing him fit for anything but he is a strict Constitutionalist.
I agree about Cruz being well suited for SCOTUS - he is very constitutionally minded and I admire that trait.
I think Ted Cruz is a constitutional Rock Star and we here in Texas benefit from him as a Senator, as do the rest of the 49, although most would not admit it. He can move to SCOTUS after he is finished shaking things up in Congress if my opinion matters. National debate champion too. He did lose some Ted points with the convention “stunt” but both POTUS and Ted know they need each other and must work together to MAGA.
I agree with your assessment of Ted Cruz. Would love him on the Supreme Court but am very happy to have him as my Senator.
