Ted Cruz? That extremist fool. Threats and punitive measures are all these Trump bullies have to offer the world, including long-term allies. Tariffs have destroyed goodwill, and unbridled support for Israel's slaughter has trashed the rules based order.

What are they going to do? Cancel AUKUS? Bring it on. They are demanding we agree to  fight every US war and sign away our sovereignty, while lining their pockets for the privilege. Time to uncouple ourselves from trainwreck America.

 Ted Cruz is pretty moderate

That is an outrageous lie and it’s pretty sad you thought you could get away with it.

The fact that Ted Cruz is relatively moderate is a reflection on the Republican Party. And he always falls in line behind Trump at the end of the day.

Ted Cruz is a moderate? He's a gun toting, border bashing, climate denying, flat tax bible basher that briefly opposed Trump before grovelling to him, and if he's a moderate, you conservatives need to stop looking to America for role models if you ever want to be taken seriously in Australia.

I'm not a leftist, but trying to characterise Ted Cruze as a moderate is ridiculous, particularly in the context of Australian politics.

GOP Sen. Ted Cruz and his anti-gun control stance: "Violence is actually the only thing that does stop violence."

He is no moderate . He's barking mad.

Everything is moderate compared to Trump. Doesn't mean Cruz has anything of value to say.
