I thought his support was qualified; I don’t remember the details now - but his support was predicated on opposing something the Democrats were up to - I can’t remember the specifics, but I remember reading his account and it made a lot of sense.
The more I see, hear and read of Cruz, the more I like him. I am long past the age when I consider politicians to have even the potential for heroism - but Cruz is more consistently conservative than any of the others. He has taken very public stands against not just the communist left, but also the establishment GOP. When Washington insiders sneer: “He doesn’t have any friends in the Senate,” I consider that a plus.
Usually, the more I see and hear a pol, the less I like them; with Cruz, it is the opposite.
That's probably why he closes well, come election time.
