"Lyin' Ted" according to Trump, who's an expert on lying.
It all adds up to the conclusion that Cruz could be preparing to make
another go for the White House in 2028 after finishing as runner-up to
Trump in 2016. And while he’s tied himself closely to Trump since then, he
is now using the committee gavel to set himself apart with aggressive
oversight of tech companies, skepticism about tariffs and even a record of
working across the aisle.
This strategy might not change many opinions about Cruz. He has a history
of being widely reviled and mocked on the left and rubbing his Republican
colleagues the wrong way, too, with his showboating style. He’s the man who
read “Green Eggs and Ham” during a filibuster on the Senate floor in 2013
to protest funding the government without defunding Obamacare and who
spends significant time most weekdays recording a podcast that builds his
personal brand.

John Boehner Calls Ted Cruz "Lucifer in the Flesh"
“Lucifer in the flesh,” Boehner said of Cruz during an appearance at
Stanford University, according to the student newspaper. “I have Democrat
friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I
have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life."
