Presidential candidate Ted Cruz introduced his mother to the world in a touching video tribute timed to coincide with the Mother’s Day holiday. We’ve heard a lot about — and from — Cruz’s father, Raphael Cruz, but until now, his mother has remained out of the spotlight.
“I always knew I was loved,” Cruz says in the video. “Whatever I did, there was nothing I could do to change that.” He clutched his mother’s hand and added, “My mom’s always been a best friend to me.”
“This is just overwhelming,” Eleanor Darragh confesses. “I look at him and think, ‘This is my son! I can’t believe it!’” She said that Ted was always an overachiever, “but this is somewhat beyond that.”
Darragh said that she has a prayer partner and teared up when she explained, “We pray for his safety continually.”
Ted’s wife, Heidi, also makes an appearance in the video, receiving high praise from her husband.
Asked what life was like with Heidi as the mother of his children, Heidi interrupted and said, “Dramatic!”
The Cruz’s laughed and Sen. Cruz said, “Heidi is an incredible mom. There is no one on the planet that our daughters adore more than their mom.”
The video was a very sweet way for Cruz to honor the two most important women in his life on Mother’s Day.

Anyone know how the debates work? can’t have fifteen people up there. Cruz should clean up in those.
A WONDERFUL Video! A great family
a light in the darkness!
oh .....my.......word....
I dont ordinarily USE sleeping pills...nor anti anxiety medications....but...
In before the requisite “in before, post...” from the Walker camp.
Pretty hard to clean up, when you only get six minutes in two hours.
geez. Is she brutal.
Ted is a good man, I knew that from the moment I first saw him..and I Can’t wait to cast my vote for him in 2016
Very nice!
Nah- I got a deal with them— I don’t troll them, they don’t troll me. -:)
There’s only one topic I troll them on, and frankly I don’t consider it trolling.
When they start the, “Why he’s the best guy on immigration reform...” business, I call them on it.
It drives them nuts, but they know inside I’m right.
Very nice..the guy doesn’t miss a move.

A great video and a sweet tribute indeed!
Vin - Thanks for the post. It was a very nice video - I enjoyed it. Great idea for him to do this - I hope a lot of people see it. My only little criticism is that I think the background music was a bit loud (but maybe it’s my computer audio).
UP - thanks for the direct YouTube link in your post #17.
““I think he is the most talented and fearless Republican politician I’ve seen in the last 30 years.” James Carville”
I didn’t know serpent head said that. Wow - a comparison to Reagan, no doubt.
