"The divide that exists in our country isn't between political parties," says Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in his presidential campaign kick-off video. "It's between Washington and the rest of us." That's a typically populist note for a Republican candidate to strike, but ... Ted Cruz, populist? Ahem: 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." He did break down and agree to study with someone who only went to Northwestern, but seriously, he said that . As Josh Marshall puts it, "Ted managed to distinguish himself as a arrogant a#@hole at Harvard Law School , which is an amazing accomplishment since the competition there for that description is intense ." And Cruz has apparently done that at every stage of his life. Now someone who's spent his life insisting that he was above everyone around him is asking us to vote for him as a guy who is on the right side of the divide "between Washington and the rest of us." That should be convincing.
