Ted Cruz Names Friends, but Silence From G.O.P. Brass Deafens
Ted Cruz was naming friends.
Seated for an interview inside a stately Midtown Manhattan library, just south of Trump Tower, the Texas senator leaned forward in his chair, ticking off the unlikely coalition drifting his way.
There was Jeb Bush, who announced his endorsement in a terse predawn news release, and Mitt Romney, who initially said his support applied only to his voting preference in Utah.
Mr. Cruz had swung Mike Lee, his greatest ally in the Senate, nearly a year after his campaign began, and Mark Levin, a conservative radio host who recently made his longstanding admiration on the airwaves official.
They are coming to us, Mr. Cruz said. We welcome their support with open arms, but my positions, my policies have not changed.
Nor has Mr. Cruzs reputation, particularly.
