The people that know him well are family, employees, or sychophants. That aside, when are we to assume he's true to his word?
Was it the time he said he was for universal healthcare, or repeal Obamacare?
How about when he criticized Romney's immigration plan in 2012, or should we believe his now?
Perhaps we should take his word when he said he identified as Democrat in 2004, or should we believe him now that he filed as a Republican candidate.
See if you can answer that without, "well, Cruz said....." because that's irrelevant.
You have a nasty streak of dishonesty.
