Presidential candidate Ted Cruz loved to argue as a Harvard student and boasted he'd get the best grades in his class, only to lose out to two other classmates.
In a series of exclusive interviews with Metro, several of his former classmates painted a complex portrait of the Tea Party's most beloved presidential candidate.
Laurence Tribe, a longtime Harvard law professor, said Cruz took his constitutional law class, challenged his teacher in interesting and "invariably right-leaning" ways at every turn.
Tribe said Cruz bragged to many of his classmates that he would receive the highest grade in the class, which had more than 150 students. That, said Tribe, alienated some. Tribe said Cruz received an A on the blindly graded final, but two people received an A+.
Renowned legal scholar Alan Dershowitz recalled Cruz was "not a very smiley guy," and he thought would become an "extraordinarily able appellate lawyer."
"The first day, he had his hand up and was asking questions," said Dershowitz, who retired from Harvard Law in 2013....

The article states 150.
What was 0bama like at Harvard?
A full week later and the stories are coming just as fast.
I’m surprised that the LSM hasn’t returned to their previous consensus of ignore. If they keep covering how he can’t win, they’ll soon have to back that up with a long news cycle of the long knives.
Ted Cruz as liberal boogeyman is causing an unforced error. Pivoting from he can’t win to destroy him is going to keep him in the news for weeks.
At this point in the primary cycle, all exposure is good exposure. “We hate Ted,” isn’t a bad message for a conservative to have endlessly repeated. Eventually, these yahoos are going to realize this.
Waiting on info about President Obama during college.........
I'm sure the men who frequented the basement bathroom stalls that has a certain hole drilled between them has colorful stories to share.
Yeah, this discussion should be widened to ask WHAT DID BARAK OBAMA DO ACADEMICALLY AT HARVARD...DOES ANYONE KNOW?
150, as detailed in the article.
Obama102 was low normal as a 102 affirmative action figure should act.
Cruz is a braggart AND a loser! Said he would be first - came in third!! With only an A!!!
Oh - and loved to argue. Why can’t we just keep a nice humble guy like barry in office?
Still waiting on the “What was Obama like in Harvard classes” articles. Such a dirth of anecdotes from old classmates and professors concerning Obama’s college years.
Problem is that the MSM doesn’t bother to report it. Or for that matter never has delved into Obozo’s background. The only president who’s background has never been looked into.
He wasn’t extraordinarily smiley? How much worse will this get? I’m beginning to have second thoughts...
BTW, do we know anything about Obama’s time at Harvard.
-— So he was 3rd in a class of how many?
150, as detailed in the article. -—
In this particular class. AFAIK, he was valedictorian at Harvard and Princeton.
Is it any surprise that a eighty at Harvard did not get the highest grade on a blind graded conlaw exam? Lol.
What was Maobama like in college, if he was even there?
What was Obama like at Harvard? How many A’s did he get?
I would not believe him if he said rain was wet.
MenSeekingMen now realize every attack they level at Cruz opens them up to their complete incuriousity regarding zero’s exact situation. Delicious. Cruz needs to drag every one of them through the coals over each issue they studiously ignored about zero the last 8 years.
Make them completely re-live their WH-dictated talking and ignoring points in their cover-up and omission..
