High school class presidents are popular and have friends. As far as I can tell, Cruz has no friends anywhere and I'm not sure he ever did. In the 15 hours of raw footage video his campaign released on YouTube, even his own family acts as if they are pretending to like him.
To be fair, I’m not so sure if Trump has any real “friends” either...at least not ones he hasn’t bought and paid for...like Hillary or virtual “friends” like the kind you can boast about on Face Book.
By the time a person reaches the age of 45. if he has 4-5 good friends , outside of his family, he is a lucky person.
