The point is that he was on Dubya’s radar, dubya being from Texas and all.
No. That wasn’t the point of posting this.

Lol...not even close.
However, it is interesting to see who his biggest advocates were back then and what their reasoning was.
Ted Cruz just went through one lie after another about Donald Trump on ABC. He said the ONLY person Trump has recommended for the court is his sister…out and out LIE. Last night, during the debate, standing next to Cruz, Trump named two good conservative judges, Judge Diane S. Sykes and Judge Bill Pryor.
Cruz has a problem with the truth.

Donald Trump on Kentucky clerk: Same-sex marriage the "law of the land" September 7, 2015.
