And his wife is a lawyer, too.

No, she is not. She is an expert in international finance from CMC with a Harvard MBA.

Heidi Suzanne Cruz was born on August 7, 1972 in San Luis Obispo, California, and grew up in a Seventh-day Adventist family. Her parents, Suzanne Jane (née Rouhe), a dental hygienist,[3] and Peter Christian Nelson, a dentist with a practice in San Luis Obispo,[4][5] participated also in volunteer missionary dental work.[6][7][8][9] Their two children (Scott and Heidi) accompanied them on numerous missionary trips, including to Nigeria and Kenya.

[1][10][11] [12] Her brother, Scott C. Nelson, today is an orthopedic surgeon and humanitarian.[13][14] Her Finnish-American maternal grandfather served for 22 years as a missionary physician and pastor in the former Belgian Congo.[15]

Cruz announced in fifth grade that she intended to attend Harvard Business School one day, her mother reflecting that she was unsure of how her daughter knew of the school and described her as a "slacker".[16] Cruz's political interest developed when she traveled to Washington with her parents at age 8,[16] and grew when she was age 12 and read an issue of Time magazine concerning the 1984 presidential election, while working at a bread stand.[17]

She graduated with a B.A. in Economics and International Relations from Claremont McKenna College in 1994. She was active in Claremont McKenna's Republican group, but was asked to resign after spying on Bill Clinton's campaign for reelection.[16] During her time at Claremont McKenna College, she studied abroad at the University of Strasbourg.[18] In 1995, she received a Masters of European Business from Université Libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium and in 2000, she graduated with a M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.[1][11][19]

Gosh, how absolutely horrible! Given that you apparently haven't even read her Wikipedia bio, I suggest higher standards of evidence.

Carry_Okie, I gather you are a Cruz fan. As I'm sure you gather, I am not. And so, rather than engage on the aspects of Cruz's character that I have been alluding to, I assume you have decided it is more expedient to simply "take me out" with an ad hominem attack designed to totally undermine my credibility as a witness.

My suspicion is Ted would approve of tactics like that. (He often employs them himself.) But deep down, I'm sure he knows that a witness may be wrong on points; but that doesn't mean the witness' witness is wrong on all points.

Meanwhile, Heidi Cruz is still an elitist, lawyer or not. Will you vouchsafe that Ted Cruz is not some kind of Trojan horse for the Council on Foreign Relations? His record on illegal immigration/path to citizenship is pretty squishy, inchoate....

So, I stand corrected by you, and acknowledge that Heidi Cruz is not a lawyer. She is a banker. And according to the public record, she is working to turn the United States of America into a mere component of some kind of facsimile of the European Union.

No thanks, but I can't get behind a project like that. I love my country too much.

WELL DONE!

Your Post 70 nails it! Simply post her bio.

Adn it’s HIGH time for Trump supporters to cut the Cruz family some slack.
