Ted Cruz has picked up endorsements from some pretty tough dudes.

Last month, Lt. General Jerry Boykin, a retired Army Delta Force and Green Beret commander, endorsed Ted Cruz for President, as did Medal of Honor winner Dakota Meyer.

That’s some pretty luminous company that’s joined the Cruz Crew, but today Ted Cruz acquired the coveted Chuck Norris endorsement.

Norris, who in May endorsed the ill-fated candidacy of Mike Huckabee, will be attending a Cruz rally on March 13 in North Carolina, along with Glenn Beck and Lt. General Boykin.

Ted Cruz and Chuck Norris seem to have a mutual admiration. Almost three years ago, Cruz said in a speech that Chuck Norris wore “Jim DeMint pajamas,” a reference to the former South Carolina senator who, like Cruz, did not suffer mushy Republicans either.

So, is this endorsement a portent of even bigger things for Chuck Norris?

Probably not. But if it’s one thing that Chuck Norris knows, it’s tough guys. And “tough guy” doesn’t include the thin-skinned, short-fingered vulgarian from New York City.
