Anyone who can include Ted Cruz under the category of ‘status quo’ politician simply hasn’t been paying attention to his constant battles against precisely that in the senate.

All that changed in IA when he went gutter and then doubled down with deliberate lies, half truths, misrepresentations. Ever since he took that fork in the road his numbers have went down.

It's not a coincidence.

Battles? Seriously... The man is a hit and run politician, and has nothing to show for his yipping and yapping.

I really wish that Ted Cruz had chosen the Executive path to build his conservative credentials. There is a reason that few legislators make it to the White House. No question about it, Cruz is the best we have had at articulating conservatism since Reagan.

A talent for not being able to get along with anyone is not a resume enhancement. The status quo is that Cruz is a lifelong political insider, albeit one with an attitude problem. He still has two years left on his senate term to learn how to sway others to his way of thinking without being an asshole. Let's hope he does.
