Cruz “grew new chest hair” because of Trump, huh?
You must have been asleep for a few years. Cruz has been fighting the good fight for conservatism ever since he was Solicitor General of Texas. I’d suggest you look up the case of Medellin vs. Texas, but that might cut into your Trump worship time, so...
The point remains that Cruz has always been a solid Constitutional conservative, and a fighter. He didn’t need some liberal Democrat reality-show celebrity to show him anything.
Now, Trump? He could learn a lot from Cruz about integrity and honesty.
Cruz has certainly been emboldened by the Trump Effect. Who’s not paying attention?
