You have to take into consideration the possibility that the roommate himself may have an agenda. The writer (Hangover 2, Scary Movie 3) knows what can “concern” people most. He also said that Freshman Ted abused the snooze alarm and was smelly. My wife pointed out that most college freshman males are smelly.

Gotta say snooze alarm and being smelly is funny stuff...

But in all seriousness, I just would have expected comments like “Cruz was a crazy conservative,” or “Crazy fundamentalist,” or “Whacked out Baptist” “Bible-Thumper” etc...whatever...

But the roommate doesn’t really go there...Which given Cruz’s other inconsistencies...concerns me.

You are assuming that he was a lefty straight shooter. He is just as disingenuous as those leftists who try to give Republicans advice on winning elections. They always drag HIM out, never anyone else in student government, or in debate club.

Ted and I were in the same parliamentary debate circuit. Princeton always had a great team, but when I went, the Amherst team was #1, and at the Yale Tournament, my partner and I beat the future senator Chris Coons and his partner.

My teammate was a liberal, and the rest of them covered establishment, radical libertarian, and won't disclose. Just think, an entire rental sedan driving 20 hours straight from Chicago to U of Toronto, or Smith, or Yale, etc. and nothing in common except that we all liked to argue.

I always volunteered to take the 1-4AM driving shift. At a gas stop I picked up a microwave burrito. After that the whole car voted together to ban burritos from the car. My argument was that I was trying to stay awake. If I ever ran for anything, I don't know if I want them interviewed. I told the story to my wife, and she agreed with them.
