there s history here that has raised some eyebrows because trump insulted her appearance during the campaign. yes. he tweeted this meme, if we can remind people, implying that she was unattractive. are you surprised she took the meeting? for most husbands, i think that would be that would be a deal breaker. if i m heidi cruz, i don t think i can put that behind me but you have to know about trump. his insults i don t think they feel personal but i think they re more tactical. he gets over them as quickly he probably gets over the insults flung at him. he did. it s so interesting that she did, but he clearly did. it s interesting to see that she has chris christie, they all come back eventually mitt romney. thank you so much and you can catch se s great show se cupp unfiltered saturday 6:00 eastern right here on cnn. and that s it for me. newsroom with brooke baldwin starts right now.

i don t like the tactics where senators like ted cruz or conservative groups get together and decide who s conservative enough and who isn t. and paul ryan s op-ed in the wall street journal was not heretical to ted cruz s plan. it wasn t a betrayal of it. as they point out, it didn t even mention obama care. it was simply discussing another objective that republicans and conservatives have put forward, and how to get there. and for ted cruz s defenders to come out and swat him down as a rhino is really unproductive, and frankly fairly childish. okay, s.e., chris, i m going to get to you, but i want you to clarify. people harp on certain statements. you re saying they were doing what they were elected to do, shut down the government? no, as i said, they ran campaigns against obama care. they made promises to constituents they would do everything they could to end it, repeal it, delay it, pick it
