I loved Cruz for TEXAS. I loved W.
But, now I read where even W. has no use for Cruz and the Bush insiders speak to where Ted was “then”, from where Ted is “now” are two different end zones.
The problem, as they saw it, was when he saw a ride on a rising TEA Party movement and got a ticket on the TEA PARTY express, and they say that on all hard issues Cruz flipped like a switch. Immigration for one, although there is evidence piled as high as Ted measures, of his center left sympathies for illegals and his adoration for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who gave us Obamacare.
The Bushes fully backed David Dewhurst for Senator when Ted Cruz was running. The Bushes have NEVER backed true conservative candidates and are the poster family for elite Rs. Everything the Bushes say about Ted Cruz (past, present and future) is completely unsupportive and tainted. They have and always will be Cruz haters and will say and do anything to keep the status quo of the RINO elite intact and cling to their dwindling power. The Bushes are going the way of the Kennedys. Nobody in Texas gives a flip what they say anymore.
Of course W. doesn't like Cruz. W. doesn't like to be beaten and Cruz beat him.
"Cruz also successfully defended, in Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt to re-open the cases of 51 Mexican nationals, all of whom were convicted of murder in the United States and were on death row.[38][42][44][52] With the support of the George W. Bush Administration, the petitioners argued that the United States had violated the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations by failing to notify the convicted nationals of their opportunity to receive legal aid from the Mexican consulate.[47][59] They based their case on a decision of the International Court of Justice in the Avena case which ruled that by failing to allow access to the Mexican consulate, the US had breached its obligations under the Convention.[60] Texas won the case in a 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court holding that ICJ decisions were not binding in domestic law and that the President had no power to enforce them."[47][59]
I believe you are confusing Cruz with Rubio here.

I call BS.
Exactly which Republican voted against Roberts or predicted him to vote this way on Obamacare? Everyone adored Roberts before the Obamacare vote. Other than that, he's voted right on everything.
