Reagan compromised a lot with then speaker of House Tip O’Neill. Note that spending by federal government almost tripled during 8 years of Reagan.
Do you think even for a minute, a president Cruz would have signed on to such humongous spending increases?

Your facts are very selective.
Reagan only had Republican Control of the Senate for 6 years and the House, which controls the Budget, was in Democrat hands during the whole of his 8 years. Add to that the GOP-E was constantly trying to hobble him and stab him in the back, and you get the picture.
What is also missing in your selective use of facts is that President Reagan managed to decrease several of the big Fed Departments even under these circumstances.
You also failed to mention his tax cuts and the fact that he needed to strengthen the military, which he did, when he had a Democrat Congress that hated his guts.
Would Ted Cruz have done the same things under the same situations?
Do I really have to say it???
Absolutely!
