Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, signaled on Sunday that he wished the best for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie who suffered a blow in popularity after the bridge scandal.

“You know, Bob, I like Chris Christie,” Cruz said, when questioned by “Face the Nation’s” Bob Schieffer. “I think he is brash and outspoken, and I think it’s terrific that he’s been able to get elected twice as a Republican in a very blue state.”
