Asking who someone supports, so you can deflect the argument does not work here.
This is a discussion about what Ted Cruz voted for and if he tarnished his reputation with it....like Cruz did when he voted to allow Obama to have his secret Iran nuclear deal....or his support for a 500% increase in H1B Visa workers to displace educated US citizens......or his support for work permits for illegals while we sort out their citizenship status.
Cruz talks a good game, but some of his votes should be questioned vigorously.
You intend to deflect the analysis rather than discuss the substance.
So, why not answer the question? who do you support? who is a better candidate?
