I’m suspicious of it all - even Cruz- he looks good, sounds good, but he is still an Insider, too. Wife works for Goldman Sachs. He once clerked for Rehnquist, which isn’t a bad thing. Just sayin’....
You must not be from TX. Cruz was investigated by every establishment type in the country. They planned that senate spot for then Lt Gov Dewhurst, another big RINO they were sure was a shoo-in, and the kind of guy to do all them favors they wanted.
False ads, continual attacks went on for months. Big money was working to take him out, and big names such as Roger the Dodger Staubach, Kay Bailout Hutchison, on and on. But the people of TX kept hearing Ted Cruz speak the truth and saw thru all the phonies. He made mincemeat out of them in the debates. He won that election with huge margin.
