To Shady Chareidi: I gave Ted Cruz a pass based on the same information you cited. It turns out it was mostly untrue, as revealed by his wife’s e-mails and other information, like the ticket he first booked for a return from Cancun several days later than his arrival.
That makes him a hypocrite and a liar. Will it hurt his re-election chances in Texas? I don’t know, but I suspect it would not.
Someone – I think a US senator, said Cruz is so thoroughly despised by his Senate colleagues that someone could shoot him dead on the floor of the Senate, and not one US senator would want the shooter convicted.
