Cruz is the most truthful candidate

The Sun News file photo

I believe that Ted Cruz is the real deal based on what I have heard of him, seen of his public performance, and read of news and articles written concerning him – and his book A Time for Truth. I admit that I am just starting the book. But I am already quite impressed including with respect to his love for his parents and who they are. His father’s experience with the Cuban government caused him to escape to the United States and love what this country is based upon.

This all has led me to the conclusion that Ted Cruz is the most truthful man that I have known in public office in my lifetime. And I believe truth, especially by those in and seeking public office, is absolutely essential. Ted Cruz may also be the most brilliant man in public office.

His expressed beliefs accord with mine. What more can I ask?

Given the chance, I will vote for him in the primary and the general election. I highly recommend that others do as well.
