If one wanted to gain an insight into the people around a politician advising him or her - and this case a presidential contender in the USA, Ted Cruz - look no further than this piece from The Intercept. It very much looks the "team" that Cruz has demonstrates that this politician's views are just as extreme as those of his nemesis Donald Trump.
"GOP presidential contender Ted Cruz has unveiled a foreign policy team full of conspiracy theorists and arch-neoconservatives who support policies just as belligerent as those of Donald Trump.

"Frank Gaffney: Gaffney is the president of the famously Islamophobic Center for Security Policy.

He also thinks tax lobbyist Grover Norquist is a stealth jihadist."
