“What’s going on in the House, and a bit in the Senate, too, is what you might call the rise of Ted Cruz-ism,” Brooks said. “And Ted Cruz, the senator from Canada through Texas, is basically not a legislator in the normal sense, doesn’t have an idea that he’s going to Congress to create coalitions, make alliances, and he is going to pass a lot of legislation. He’s going in more as a media-protest person. And a lot of the House Republicans are in the same mode. They’re not normal members of Congress. They’re not legislators. They want to stop things. And so they’re just being — they just want to obstruct.”

Translation for people with brains: Cruz and those of his ilk wish the government to be a servant of the people and to be a responsible and frugal entity IAW the Constitution - the author thinks this is a bad thing.

Cruz worries me with his less than assuring stance on amnesty. On Mark Levin’s show,it was said that Cruz was seen having dinner with McCain recently.
