And believe me, I'm understanding and sympathetic to how the Senate and House work---but they haven't worked (the way they were supposed to) since 2006. The Dems ran the house like a house of nobles, the Republicans like a house of cowards. Neither works.
Like I said ... the mouth vs the brain. :-)
You seem to be saying that Cruz is out because he is working in the senate, the only viable candidate has no experience with the Federal government?
