Cruz has always been on the right side of a number of issues - that isn’t what caused so many of us to disdain him.....give him credit for the attaboys, but don’t think they wipe out the aw shits....
I remember the analysts in my CTOC arguing about how many attaboys it took to neutralize one awshit.
I posted a big chart with each analyst's running total.
I believe it equated to 5:1 for regular awshits, 10:1 for big awshits, and for humongous awshits we'd all be dead, so attaboys wouldn't matter.
