Except for perhaps Bill Clinton, no candidate’s spouse in the 2016 presidential campaign has proved as productive and effective as Heidi Cruz.
Beyond the mother-of-two charm that softens Sen. Ted Cruz’s hard edges, and her deep Christian faith, the California-born Heidi Cruz, 43, is an accomplished executive and political adviser — more in the model of Democrats like Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton than Republicans like Laura Bush.
Her impressive resume includes a master’s degree in business administration from Harvard University, a stint in the George W. Bush White House and a high-paying job at investment giant Goldman Sachs, where she gained the Wall Street savvy that has made her a fundraising dynamo.

That might explain the wandering aimlessly on the side of the road.
Read her own account of how they met as political operatives working for Bush. Same type of tag team, different name that’s all.
Wow, I never heard that before.
Your type is the reason we keep getting Romney, McCain and Dole as candidates.
You can’t be that stupid.
You used the “military intelligence” joke as if no one had ever heard it before. Having served in M.I. do you think I’ve never heard it before?
Except when it’s true, like in this case.
Your type is why we lost in Viet Nam
