Cruz is loathed , hared and abominated by a wide, wide range of people. This is because he is a dick. He is the sort of dick that (1) lets you know he is a dick, and then lords it over everyone by telling them that he is better than they are even if he is a dick. I will be surprised in the extreme if this annoying sartass is reelected, because now the many Mexican Americans in Texas know that he is not one of them and in fact, does not even hablar español worth a damn. He surely got a lot of votes for having a name that ends in Z the first time.
He speaks only inglés and with the voice of un pato de caricatura.
