Imagine that a former radical left wing professor with a high profile in liberal political causes can't help but give Cruz high praise. But hell we can't even find a single grade our dear leader made let alone praise from any of his teachers.

From a interview a few years ago.


PIERS MORGAN, HOST: See, you taught Ted Cruz at Harvard.

ALAN DERSHOWITZ: Well, I’m not sure how much I taught him, but I sat in the front of the class while he was in the class raising his hand, always his right hand, making very intelligent points, and really winning debates all the time in the class including winning debates with his professors.

MORGAN: One of the best students you've had?

DERSHOWITZ: One of the sharpest students I've had in terms of analytic skills. I’ve had 10,000 students in my 50 years at Harvard. I write all about that in my book “Taking the Stand,” and I write about my great students. He has to qualify among the brightest of the students.

MORGAN: So we have to assume from that, just in the extraordinary piece of insight into him - because he's come really from nowhere to many people – we have to assume from that this is all part of a strategy. What do you think his strategy is?

DERSHOWITZ: I think he deeply believes what he's doing. I don't think of him so much as a tactical or strategic thinker. He’s deeply principled. He thinks he's doing the right thing.
