Ted Cruz is taking some time off from the Senate to recover from a brutal presidential campaign.

After returning to Washington last week to work on a defense policy bill, the Texas senator is spending this week back home. He'll miss votes on Zika funding legislation as well as appropriations bills...

What a scum. He just had nearly a year off. He was going from one county fair to another eating. What a disgusting individual. Why haven’t we heard anyone running against him in Texas yet. We only have about 2 years to rid ourselves of this nightmare. He voted for the fag Army guy today......who needs this sinner who says he is a Conservative Christian. He is a demonic nasty crapstain on our country.

Your hatred of Cruz is unhealthy. You might want to get counseling.
Maybe stay away from politics for a couple of weeks and relax a bit.
Good luck.

I suggest you read the U.S.Constitution Article I, Section 3:

“No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.”

It says, “...nine years a Citizen of the United States...”.

Being a natural born Citizen is an eligibility requirement for the President.

Do I prefer who?

I did not vote for the leadership in the Senate; the Senators do that.

He’s a quarter century younger chronologically, but you don’t see The Donald taking a break.

I’m so sick to death of politicians with no work ethic. He’s not getting paid a six figure salary by taxpayers to lounge about at home....

And are you contending that Cruz has not been a U.S. citizen for at least nine years?

Yep. Then again, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein pays her $800,000 a year to manage a dozen brokers who can easily manage themselves .

Curious. Have you heard or seen anything regarding Edward having Cuban citizenship.
His papa still had Cuban citizenship I assume at the time of Edwards birth in Canada.
Papa Cruz did take Canadian citizenship later on after he met the five year residency
requirement. Rafael finally got USA citizenship in 2005.

Did he really vote “Yes” to confirm that guy?

At least this prevents him from voting to give another $150 BILLION to Iran for a few days.

The other exceptions were the North American Union connections that exposed his globalist enabling on the Corker Bill, the H1B1 foreign worker expansion, the “pathways to legalization for the South American invaders, and the TPP gig to get it all to the floor.

He talked a hell of a big game, but he was never seen to get in the way of a single globalist North American Union legislative move.

Cloture votes were a staple in his book of pony tricks for the rubes.

He abused us all, from TEXAS to DC, waving the flag and the Bible and talking up the Constitution. Talk is cheap. Actions nailed him and his intentions.

PS: This boob went to the US Senate with 4% of the Republican vote. In a run-off. In the heat of summer in TEXAS. Nobody voted but the rubes. I was one.

4%! And he thought he should be president as soon as he sat his bags down in DC.

Talk about a show! He did a video with “crying” like Jimmy Swaggert and Beck. All he had to do was stop the tape, rewind and start over after he’d regained his composure. Anytime someone cries on video tells me it’s fake.

I hope it doesn’t happen but I’m not sure the guy can handle his defeat. He may off himself. I pray he doesn’t.

The guy’s got a good record as an appellate lawyer. He’s more than capable as a debater. There’s a place for a guy like that. He needs to figure out where it is and get there. Quickly.
