Relationship with president trump and president trumps actions following his passing have been very high. but we also know in texas that there were billboards of president trumps past tweets on senator cruz on full display. obviously ted cruzs relationship with donald trump has been somewhat of a roller coaster but could his past words and all of this tension over senator mccain backfire on him, especially in a place like texas? >> maybe so and thats what theyre trying to do. theyre trying to ma...
