Ted Cruz

Whatever you think of his politics, Ted Cruz is a fascinating study in sheer persistence. Born in Alberta, Canada, and educated at Princeton, he built his reputation as Texas solicitor general arguing repeatedly before the Supreme Court — a lawyer's lawyer before he was ever a senator. What interests me as an editor is his durability: he has absorbed political defeats and relentless criticism, yet keeps returning to the center of national debates. His debate-team instincts, meticulous preparation, and appetite for confrontation make him one of the most distinctive operators in the Senate. Agree or disagree, he is never an incidental figure in any room he enters.
