As many of you know, I was a supporter of Ted Cruz. I'm sure I voted for him in his Senate bid in 2012. But during the present presidential campaign, I got to know him better, and I didn't like what I saw. Cruz is a religious fanatic; his wife Heidi is in bed with Wall Street; he lies about his rivals (e.g., Ben Carson); and he's smug to the point of insufferability. Now I understand why Cruz is so hated in Washington, even (especially?) by members of his own party. Many prominent Republicans have concluded, as I did yesterday after Cruz's speech, that he has no future in the Republican Party. I'm tempted to add "at the national level," but I honestly believe that he will have serious primary opposition in 2018 when he runs for re-election. Texas has many solid conservatives who can beat him. Can you say "Rick Perry"?
Lyin’ Ted
