An essay posted the other day called “The Hollow Man” really sums up Cruz accurately I think:

“For Ted Cruz, the cen­tral flaw is a malig­nant nar­cis­sism that erupts into con­de­scen­sion, intel­lec­tual arro­gance, and a sense of inevitabil­ity. He is no longer car­ry­ing the mes­sage; he is the mes­sage. That atti­tude, of course, leads to the mes­sage get­ting lost, as prin­ci­ple after prin­ci­ple is sac­ri­ficed to get the man into office, because that is all that mat­ters.”

Well although I'm a Trump supporter I have big respect for Ted for taking a bold stand in DC whatever his flaws. He's a whole lot better than many of his no good peers in the Senate. Trump has his flaws too-- what it is.
