Cruz is promoted heavily by [[neocons]] who like his interventionist foreign policy, but some conservatives see more grandstanding than achievement on social issues.

Cruz is promoted heavily by [[neocons]] who like his interventionist foreign policy, but some conservatives see more grandstanding than achievement on social issues. Many prominent neocon Cruz supporters later acquired positions in the Trump administration, and used those positions to sabotage his agenda from within. These people included Ezra Cohen-Watnick, [[Steve_Bannon|Steve Bannon]], and [[Mark_Meadows|Mark Meadows]]. It is unknown what role -- if any -- Cruz himself played in said sabotage, but the fact that said saboteurs all supported him in 2016 cannot be ignored.  

In prior elections, Cruz has been supported by the [[Tea Party movement]], [[Tea Party Express]], [[Club for Growth]], [[FreedomWorks]], Erick Erickson of [[RedState]], [[Mark Levin]], and former [[Alaska]] Governor [[Sarah Palin]], but also by pro-[[homosexual]] donors as discussed below.
