I get the sense that he is hiding lots of secrets.

I keep trying to imagine the types of people who vote for people like Cruz. I wouldn't vote for him if he was a Democrat, way too creepy.

...plus it will be fun watching the Teanuts twist themselves into knots as they try to justify why their Canadian born son of an immigrant is totally different than the Kenyan Muslin Socialist Nazi Commie that they have railed against since 2008..

He will, of course, be re-elected to the Senate for as long as he wants the job, Texas being just as fucking "stupid" as South Carolina..

He was born in Canada to a Cuban national father. His mother was from Delaware. Sounds to me like he's a foreigner and can't run for president.

South Carolina has more or less proved that if a republican candidate ate babies, or raped and pillaged local villages, republican voters would still elect them.
It's a family values thing.

That is the fundamental concept that drive these people. Don't let your ethnicity get in the way of making a buck. If you can't be yourself and appeal to the racist base then pretend to be someone else. It's not just sad it's pathetic.
