This is Cruz's rallying cry, everyone hates me. Washington hates me, the media hates me, Congress hates me, etc.
It's really just another take on the Dems victim strategy. Hillary says it's because she's a woman or a vast right-wing conspiracy. Sanders says it's because he's against the establishment, similar to Cruz actually.
I'm sorry but if this is all he has, and it is because he hasn't really accomplished anything, then that's a sad reason to support him.
I don't buy the Republican line that I can't get anything done now so promote me. Cruz joined Paul Ryan to promote TPA Ted Cruz joins the establishment then voted for cloture on TPA. Big deal, brought us the Iran deal and will bring us Obamatrade.
Actually, he has plenty of endorsements in the house. But you are right, in addition to Ted Cruz’s phenomenally positive conservative message, he definitely has all the right enemies in Washington. It is most definitely one of the reasons he first popped onto my radar screen!
