Cruz is brilliant and knows how Washington works. He has a proven record of bucking the establishment and is hated for it - which has nothing to do with "waiting his turn". He is without a doubt the best conservative candidate running for POTUS.
I find it unbelievable that somebody who has been as successful as Cruz has been at the highest levels of the GOP since 1999 is an outsider. Marrying a fellow super successful GOP establishment insider does not help me believe it either. I think the reason his fellow establishment guys are annoyed with him is because he is too ambitious to wait his turn. As far as “bucking the establishment goes”, does he actually have any concrete accomplishments that hurt them? I see a big nothing on that. He did more or less endorse Rubio the other night. That is some concrete anti-establishment action, isn’t it?
