Famed Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz ranks Sen. Ted Cruz among the school’s smartest students, adding that the Canada-born Texan can run for president in 2016.
Cruz was a “terrific student,” Dershowitz told The Daily Caller. “He was always very active in class, presenting a libertarian point of view. He didn’t strike me as a social conservative, more of a libertarian.”
“He had brilliant insights and he was clearly among the top students, as revealed by his class responses,” Dershowitz added.
Dershowitz also gave a high estimate of Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren — who has decidedly different political views than Cruz.
Dershowitz says he and Cruz would often debate issues presented in Dershowitz’s criminal law class. “Cruz’s views were always thoughtful and his responses were interesting,” the law professor explained. “I obviously disagreed with them and we had good arguments in class. I would challenge him and he would come up with very good responses.”

But he’ll never beat out barry.
Dershowitz wouldn’t say this if it wasn’t true.
He’s a FLAMING lib after all.
Canadian and Cuban citizen Rafael Edward Cruz.
My democrat neighbor assures me this is true.
American citizen.
He shouldn't, as he wasn't actually born in this country, but who cares what the Framers said anyway?
And no, I don't want to argue about it. I'm blue in the face from the last four years of that.
IT’S Called “HAVING A BACKBONE”
Oh I believe it too he is soooo egocentric.
The GOP has plenty of:
sellouts
closet Dems
Windbags,
idiots
But Cruz is a conservative who attacks brilliant. He doesn’t just make noise, he goes for the libs jugular. He is their worst nightmare. He is what I been asking for in my comments here for a long time, a very smart and tough fighter to make my day (better)
“American citizen” is not the constitutional qualification to hold the office of president in the United States.
I know, but Cruz is an American citizen, not a Cuban or Canandian citizen.
actually a pragmatic libertarian would not be a bad choice for the pubs in the next election. I have trashed them as much as anyone but only because of the rules-based dogma espoused by people like Ron Paul on foreign policy & 9/11. I could accept a libertarian with rational foreign policy views.
At the time of his birth Rafael was not an American. Rafael Edward Cruz is an ambitious foreigner.
I’m not going to get into a big debate, but the requirement for President and VP, of course, is that he must be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. That has long been understood to mean a child of two American citizen parents born on American soil/territory. Neither Cruz nor Rubio qualifies as a natural born American citizen.
LOL.
You’re a broken record.
Thanks for your opinion of Ted Cruz.
Sort of new hear aren’t you?
Just saying.
Canadian and Cuban citizen Rafael Edward Cruz.

I hope you’re not here to focus on trying to destroy the true conservatives in the Republican party.
I noticed your FR join date is March 15, 2013—Mama always warned be about the Ides of March. Betrayal comes in many forms.
“Canadian and Cuban citizen Rafael Edward Cruz.”
You joined FR on March 15. Do you have a problem with Cruz? Maybe you would be happier on a liberal Democrat forum where you could dump on Cruz every day.
Tell who you like.
