To: GeorgiaConservative (#0) The elite academic circles that Cruz was now traveling in began to rub off. 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." The whole point of Harvard Law is elitism. And Harvard and Princeton and Yale are the most rigorous programs for law students with the most influential instructors. I don't blame Cruz. This is how he ended up being praised by Tribe and Dershowitz (for his top legal ability though they hate his politics) and it is how he grabbed the brass ring of clerking for Chief Justice Rehnquist, another mark of his top legal scholarship. He actually was something of an expert on Rehnquist's legal philosophy and tendencies. At this level of legal studies, they study the Supremes, past and present, as much as they do the law itself. It's an odd criticism to make of Cruz. The whole point of Princeton and Yale and Harvard is elitism. The minor Ivies are wannabes by comparison and you find this sort of thing written routinely in elitist circles. What's next, criticizing Cruz for not taking time to tutor nighttime law school students at some city college? The horror.

To: Pericles (#6) I think the critique is that he is in a long line of conservatives like Bill O'Reilly who criticize the "elite" institutions they went to sometimes act like they never were alumnists. O'Reilly is a lamer compared to Cruz. Cruz is creme-de-la-creme type. He was a smart kid and worked very hard to get there. He knew better than to associate with those who settled for good-enough or the second-tier. I don't mind the elite types if they earned what they got and don't get arrogant about it. My main criticism on Cruz is that he still seems weak as a general election candidate outside of Texas. He doesn't seem to have the broad kind of appeal and he makes rash remarks from time to time. Impolitic. And there was that shameless and despicable grandstanding at that historic event where all the persecuted churches of the Mideast came together in America and Cruz showed up and told them to go to hell if they didn't put Israel at the top of their list of concerns. I know you recall it. Tooconservative  posted on  2015-05-18 10:26:29 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   End Trace Mode for Comment # 6.
