So you are an attorney? Maybe we crossed swords, Ever play in class actions in federal court? My experience with Ivy league lawyers is pretty extensive. Cruz is a fake. If you really are a lawyer you should know this. He has optics and position but he has never failed to push the Globalist agenda for his clients. He says or does whatever it takes to win.
Hard evidence is his helping draft Bush’s NAFTA, Pushing TPP, TPA, Corker bill, Gutting our ability to police currency manipulation, etc. His poison pill with the Gang of eight was to increase H1B visas 500 percent and double the number of Syrian Muslims we were taking in. But for firing cantor he would have succeeded.
I suggest you do a case review, Cruz has some serious anti-American baggage that is deal breaker.

Doubt if we ever did cross swords. I’ve never practiced anywhere but Sangamon County. But going from “Ivy League Lawyers” to “Cruz is a Fake” is a sweeping generalization and a non sequitur I would not expect from someone with a federal practice. The “evidence” you’ve offered is subject matter that cannot be digested in a sound bite or two. It proves nothing close to your assertion. And his anti-Gang of Eight activity has been vetted by those who were there at the time as authentic. Again, you could theoretically win your point if you presented something other than “Cruz is Bad” dog whistle codes. For my part, I am willing to accept Cruz making principled adjustments as he learned what was going on.
But that’s not my big issue. No candidate is perfect, and even if Cruz made some unforced errors on trade, I would be able to forgive him for that. What I cannot forgive or accept is any candidate who validates the taking of an innocent human life. Trump is for protecting innocent babies, unless the father is a rapist or a sibling of the mother. That is a wretchedly unprincipled position. The only candidate I am allowed by my faith to vote for in this campaign, out of all of them, is Cruz. Unless you count the quixotic campaigns of the Constitution Party and perhaps some others. But I speak of those who actually have a chance of becoming our next President. If Trump were ever to change position on this, I would still have many reasons to doubt him, but the decision would be more difficult. As things stand right now, it’s not even close.

Correction. I had an election law case in Cook County once, but that was the only exception. Hated the commute, too. Fun case though. My client got on the ballot despite Madigan’s ballot “hit man” wanting her off. But she lost anyway. We tried.
