I agree with your assessment of Cruz.
While Cruz may not be overall “smarter” than Trump, however, Cruz’s skills re the Constitution are much superior to most people, including Trump.
Out of the 6 little cases he pleaded before the SCOTUS, he won.....................just TWO and that is a lousy record.
He3 doesn't give a DAMN about the Constitution; it's just a ploy, an act, a LIE you swallowed as whole cloth.
