Cruz admitted to supporting him after Roberts was announced as did every Republican. Saying that he preferred someone else is his opinion. He wasn't in the Senate so who cares who he supported, he had no power to do anything.

Again, Trump was a registered Democrat. Come at Cruz with a candidate who was buddies with Schumer and see who takes you seriously.

Where did he admit this? Was it at the debate and I missed it? In the debate, he stated clearly: "I did not nominate him. I would not have nominated him." IOW, he is plainly trying to fool the audience into believing that he never supported Roberts at all.

By the way, as for the whole “would have preferred someone else,” here he is in the article, quoted as calling Roberts one of the best choices ever for the Supreme Court:

Cruz went on to call Roberts “one of the very best advocates ever,” who exemplified “how to try to carry out our craft with the highest level of skill and integrity.”
In that same message, dated Sept. 13, 2005, Cruz called Roberts “the best Supreme Court litigator in the nation.”
“I’ve worked with John and seen him argue numerous cases, and, to my mind, there’s not another appellate advocate who’s even close,” he said.
