It's not that difficult to understand tbh. They don't like Cruz because he's a supposed outsider. They hate him because of his personality.

Cruz has a loud bark, but he sits down and does what he's told like a good boy when his corporate donors and special interests start tugging at his leash.

Still still think Cruz is anti-establishment? Well, let's see here...

1. He has never for a single day worked professionally outside of Government or Politics

2. He ardently backed George Bush, and served as chief counsel to John Boehner.

3. In 2004, he lambasted fiscal conservatives for opposing the Sarbanes-Oxley Act along with No Child Left Behind and the unconstitutional, undeclared wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

4. Furthermore, in 2009, he sent a memo to the Obama Administration praising their efforts in passing the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, otherwise known as the $787 BILLION taxpayer funded "stimulus package" that helped launch the Tea Party to notoriety.

5. He took out personal loans for his Senate campaign from Goldman Sachs in 2012 that he conveniently forgot to disclose!

6. When elected, he voted to increase military spending without paying for it, voting for Rubio's bill to increase military spending by $166 billion without any spending cuts.

7. He backed agricultural subsidies, voting for flood and agricultural insurance, while simultaneously acting puritanical on free markets by opposing ethanol mandates in Iowa.

8. He voted for the budget deal that would have increased the debt by $400 Billion in FY 2016.

9. He flip-flopped on the TPP, only opposing it when politically expedient.

10. He voted to REAUTHORIZE THE PATRIOT ACT up to FY 2017, as part of the Freedom Act, which doesn't decrease NSA powers at all.

11. He voted for CISA, while admitting to not having read or known anything about it.

12. He has pretended to back the gold standard and sound monetary policy by name dropping Mises and Hayek, but infamously missed the Audit the Fed vote, while proclaiming on the campaign trail that Ben Bernanke didn't LOWER INTEREST RATES QUICK ENOUGH!

13. With regards to foreign policy, he doesn't have a coherent policy at all. As late as April 2015, he advocated for arming rebels and continuing tactical airstrikes, which is no different than the current Obama policy... But all of a sudden, to appeal to voters, he now wants to make the sand glow in the dark and carpet bomb Iraq?
