How Cruz speaks to these donors is what is important. Idiots can fling their usual Trumpanzee crap if they wish but Cruz isn't a coward who avoids confrontation.
Ted Cruz has a point: The GOP base and donor base
The people who show up at the polls, who elected you and me, and who elected this Republican majority," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) said on the Senate floor Monday evening, "far too many of the Republican donors look down on those voters as a bunch of ignorant hicks and rubes."
Blocked from adding an amendment to a government funding bill, Cruz spoke for an hour about the problems within his party until he was eventually refused additional time to press his point.
Ya can't clean out a nest of vipers if you don't have the courage to wade in among them.
Kind of like when Ted Cruz found himself scheduled to speak to an antisemitic "Christian" group. He went anyway and stood on stage like a man and told them the truth. "If you're no friend of Israel, you're no friend of mine, and no friend of America".
Moreover, from Ted Cruz's epic speech last Monday:
The simple reality is a very large percentage of the Republican donors actively despise our base, actively despise the men and women who showed up and voted you and me into office. I can tell you when you sit down and talk with a New York billionaire Republican donor -- and I have talked with quite a few New York billionaire Republican donors, California Republican donors, their questions start out as follows. First of all, you've got to come out for gay marriage, you need to be pro-choice, and you need to support amnesty That's where the Republican donors are. You wonder why Republicans won't fight on any of these issues? Because the people writing the checks agree with the Democrats.
