Hugh Hewitt: Cruz ‘Is Playing to Win the Supreme Court’ and ‘I Admire Him’ for Backing Trump

HEWITT: "I have to disagree, I talked to the senator on Monday, I talked to his people yesterday. I disagree that he’s in trouble in Texas. I think he got what he needed from Trump. And the big change, what wasn’t a race is now a race. In August when you oppose Donald Trump at the convention, no one thinks he’s going to be within ten points of Secretary Clinton. Now the Supreme Court is genuinely balanced. If you look at the list that Mr. Trump released to add to the names, you’ll see on there a very interesting name, Margaret Ryan, Judge Margaret Ryan of the Court of Appeals for Military Arms Services. She is a Ludwig clerk and a Thomas clerk and a Marine Corps Commandant A. She is a terrific judge, as were the other ones. I think Ted Cruz is playing to win the Supreme Court and I admire him for it."
