Seems his critique of Trump has been that he's too close with the Washington establishment and too liberal.

No, he's trying to be the real outsider. Which is ironic, because he's basically the consummate insider. The dude worked for Dubya in '00 in the hopes of being White House Counsel for God's sake.

Cruz is a Consistent Constitutional ConservativeTM. He would never, ever be to anyone's left.

He did attack Rubio from the left on the Patriot Act

I'd call that argument a traditionally right-wing one, frankly.

Why would he? He's not a democrat.

No, Cruz would rather sell his soul to the devil than appear less conservative than someone else.

It's not particularly difficult to be right of Trump.

Yes. The words "Cruz" and "left" do not belong in the same sentence.

I can't remember if he attacked Trump on it but Cruz said he was against torture while Donald said he was for it.

I suppose Cruz criticizing Trump for saying women have to be punished for having abortions could be seen as being more "tolerant", but more accurately it's a criticism of him for not even bothering to learn the basic talking points of the anti-abortion movement (no we punish "greedy doctors" or whatever).
