    Ted cruz is a rare politician who is in politics because he fights for his convictions and wants to advocate for them

    Now his convictions are dogshit, and he does nothing but harm, but it does mean he’s a breath of fresh air compared to his compatriots

      Disagree. He became one of Trump’s biggest defenders; even defending the capital attack, and spreading The Big Lie. Before Trump got elected the first time, Trump basically called Cruz’s wife ugly, and Cruz basically told voters not to vote for Trump because he is immoral. Cruz is likely just trying to position himself for a 2028 presidential run, or being bribed by ABC or whatever.
