In a preview of her interview with the Senator, Hoover asked Cruz if she thinks Trump’s racially charged remarks “hurts his chances to be re-elected.”

Cruz did not answer directly.

“The president regularly says and tweets things I wish he didn’t say,” Cruz replied.

Hoover, though, did not let Cruz off the hook, pointing out that based on what the senator just said, Trump “will have a hard time getting re-elected.”

“Look, I wish he would say things differently,” Cruz replied with a sigh. “I don’t have the power to change that.”

Cruz then said what he can do is fight for good policies.
