Cruz, who always tries to accuse the Democrats of being cynical, is himself the most cynical of politicians. If he can grab more power by scaring people with diseased immigrant stories, that is what he'll do.

He knows he's lying, but is doing it anyway to appeal to people who are genuinely idiots. He's not very good at playing that role, largely because he comes across as so insincere, but he knows EXACTLY what he's doing. And to me, that's much worse than just being an idiot.
