So?
They tried to smear Christ as a wine-bibber because he hung out with sinners and publicans:
Mathew 11: 18-19
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.
Judge a man/woman by his actions, not the people he associates with. If you judge Ted Cruz by his actions, you cannot find a better candidate, from a conservative perspective among the ranks of the potential GOP POTUS candidates. He stands head and shoulders above the rest of them
Guilt by association is such a penny-ante slimy debating trick.
CRUZ or LOSE!
