Idaho state Sen. Steve Vick, R-Dalton Gardens, was celebrating Ted Cruz’ Idaho win tonight, and grabbed a Cruz sign off the wall at the GOP election night watch party as the crowd dwindled and people cleared out. “I’m pretty excited,” Vick said. “I think Idaho’s a conservative state. I think most of the Republicans respect somebody who’s a consistent conservative.”

Asked Cruz’ biggest appeal to him, Vick said, “It’s his understanding and defense of constitutional principles.”
