No, the guy is a 150 IQ idiot who can't figure out why nobody likes him.
Cruz has at least 30% more official endorsements from politicians than public figures than Trump last I checked.
"Nobody likes him" is just a BS Trump meme, more of his unpresidential insults and bullying.
Now, do RINOs in D.C. not like him? Hell, no, they don't like him. They only love other crony capitalists and RINOs, not the guy who has been trying to take away their power over the country from day one.
What has always bugged me about the guy, and which I did not harp on because it seemed subjective, is his demeanor. The condescending smirk, the appearance of arrogant patronizing. This tends to confirm what my gut has always told me about him - that while he might be on the right, he is very much an example of Orwell’s pigs being more equal than the other animals. It tracks with his apparent theological idiosyncrasies and inability to develop working relationships with other senators. W may have been stating simple, unvarnished truth, as much as his swipe offended me at the time.
