Cruz is not a leader, he is only a follower.

Based on what? That he has not attacked other candidates? That is leading with principles, not following. To follow would be to bash others for the purpose of getting ahead, like the rest of them.

Well, a Kasich guy actually convinced me of that when he said, “You know, at some point if you want to be a leader you have to get others to follow.” Then I thought about that filibuster. There was no reason Cruz couldn’t have gotten at least a half-dozen supporters, and a really good leader would have gotten half the GOP caucus.

He follows The Constitution more closely than any politician in my lifetime!

"Cruz is not a leader, he is only a follower."

From where I sit, the analysis in this article is dead on. The Washington GOP establishment hates Cruz more than Hillary or Obama.

Who is he following? There is no one else in Washington snugging up to Cruz, except Jeff Sessions and a few Tea Party folks.

Oh... I said it.... Tea Party. THAT is the operative word. The Washington Establishment, Democrat AND Republicans, hates the Tea Party with a visceral hatred. The IRS Scandal was hot as a fire cracker.... until it actually got close to accomplishing something. Then, it fizzled out. And the GOPe let it die without a fight. Why? Because they hate the Tea Party, too.

Go ahead and post your opinions but try very hard to make them less stupid.

Joke post?
Cruz has been an overachiever and a natural leader at everything he's done since he was a kid.
Trump's led nothing apart from a business that daddy handed over to him.
