In an Opinion Column from the Daily Texan, senior columnist, Alyssa Fernandez writes about the Senator Ted Cruz and his support for the republican candidate, Donald Trump, where Fernandez talks about how Senator Cruz is voting for Trump but does not know why. After a brief history of Rafael Edward Cruz, who decided to go by Ted Cruz, Fernandez goes on to explain Cruz’s fall of popularity in politics. One of Ted’s former friends, Glenn Beck, has apologized for supporting him in his race. Cruz’s “traits” to “speak well and [his] tendency to conform” makes it easier to talk about different subjects without having to come back to his downfall in popularity in politics. In the end, Ted Cruz is endorsing Trump accompanied by boos from supporters leaving them with the unanswered question of why is he endorsing Trump.
This column stood out to me because it seems that politicians should know why they are endorsing a candidate for the presidency. By simply using other topics to move away from the main question, just shows how much Ted Cruz is the unpopular senator.
Fernandez’s column was well written. It is a very strong opinion to talk about because many are confused to why people, including important politicians, are voting for Trump. One thing that worked very well was the brief history of Ted Cruz growing up and becoming the popular kid and being on top until his position in the race for the white house.
Overall, a very well written column where some might agree and some disagree, but shows a clear understanding of all kinds of people looking into Cruz’s questionable endorsement in the race for presidency.
