Ted Cruz needs to be an ex-senator come 2019. Texas has over 27 million people, a little less than 10 percent of the US population. And they have two complete duds as senators. Cornyn, and Ted Cruz. Much as it pains me to say it, David Dewhurst may have been the better choice in 2012. For all of his posturing and bloviating, Ted Cruz has done little as a senator. Can he point to even one bill that he sponsored that has actually passed? More importantly, can he point to even one bill that he has actually, definitively stopped?
The guy is a pariah in the senate. Nothing against pariahs, but they should at least accomplish something. And Ted has accomplished pretty much nothing. Except perhaps his support in getting TPA and then corker amendments through.
The folks in Texas deserve better. They deserve representation. They deserve a senator who wants to be a senator and actually wants to do his or her job.
As for the convention, I hope that Ted DOESN’T endorse Donald Trump. Cruz is a bitter, self-promoting, Elmer Gantry of a politician. A case study in narcissism and blind ambition. His support is not needed and he actually does us more of a service by providing a rallying point for the lunatic fringe. Let his delegates wallow in their irrelevance.
I agree with your assessment of Ted Cruz. I see both Cruz and Rubio, first term senators, as thinking they were too big for those jobs, or overqualified for the position they asked the Texas and Florida voters to give them. Now Cruz needs to put his shoulder to the senate wheel for the rest of his term at least. Then he can pursue whatever interest is worthy of his endeavors. Rubio is an opportunist who has even less going for him than Cruz. Using their senate status to springboard to the office of US president was a disservice to their voters.
“Ted Cruz has done little as a senator. Can he point to even one bill that he sponsored that has actually passed? More importantly, can he point to even one bill that he has actually, definitively stopped?”
Ted sCruze is simply an “All White Obama!” They both did/have done the same as US Senators, namely nothing of substance! They both used the US Senate as simply a “wide place in the road” on their way to the Presidency. sCruze accomplished NOTHING as a Senator (except that which facilitated his run for the Presidency)! How people can continue to blindly support this a$$hole shows a suprising penchant for the suspension of disbelief!
We need to get rid of Cornyn-beans.
