In Law School, Ted Cruz Only Studied With Students From Harvard, Princeton Or Yale

The profile on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in next month's issue of GQ yielded a detail about his lofty standards in law school.

Cruz, who earned his undergraduate degree at Princeton University before attending Harvard Law School, evidently only accepted the most elite study partners.

From Jason Zengerle's piece:

The elite academic circles that Cruz was now traveling in began to rub off. As a law student at Harvard, he refused to study with anyone who hadn't been an undergrad at Harvard, Princeton, or Yale. Says Damon Watson, one of Cruz's law-school roommates: "He said he didn't want anybody from 'minor Ivies' like Penn or Brown."

5. I hate to break it to him, but Princeton is a "minor Ivy" nowadays

8. I'd like to think that, of course, but in Ivy League football, I consider Princeton one of the top 3

Yale always plays Princeton the week before The Game...this year at the Bowl here in New Haven...

6. I get why he wanted to study with them.

What I don't get is why they would study with him. Especially after they got to know him.

7. Christian Law Schools scare me, this is just an historical case of a fool doing foolish things

Anyone who would restrict their education to what could be conveyed by a preselected set of information sources is nothing but a damned fool, which is something that Mr. Cruz has demonstrated himself to be in spades. What bothers me far more is how many graduates from those "Christian" Colleges find their way to Washington, both in and around Government.

9. Cruz is a composite of every asshole I've ever met.

But note that white upper-class Cuban immigrants tend towards his attitudes. We got the political and business ruling class from the Batista regime.
