"Cruz is a friend of mine, said Trump, but you wouldn't believe that, because we went through a rough campaign together it was nasty! But now, Trump continued, they got along much better: We get along so well and everybody we actually did joint rallies, can you believe it? He wanted to get some of the action, so he's smart."
"I had never gone into a debate before, officially. My whole life was a debate, but I never officially debated before, officially. I said, Let me find out about my competition, who are these people? Many of them, they were senators and mostly senators and governors. And I said, Well, why don't we start with this guy named Ted Cruz. Well, he was the best student at Harvard, number one in his class,"
President Donald Trump said nominating Sen. Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court would yield unanimous Democratic and Republican votes because people want him removed. Trump described a rough, nasty primary campaign with Cruz but said their relationship later improved and that they held joint rallies. Trump called Cruz smart, very tough and brilliant, and highlighted Cruz's debating record and academic achievements. Trump also admitted he had not engaged in formal debates before entering politics and said he researched opponents, singling out Cruz as an early standout. The remarks combined criticism, backhanded praise and personal anecdote.
