“Cruz has ridden into DC. He has fought the establishment.”
Cruz fought but what has he actually done other than antagonize people? Trump has made everyone agree that we need a wall on the border and he has not even been elected.
Cruz claims credit for stopping the gang of eight bill, but it passed the Senate. It was killed in the House.
He was for a 500% increase in H1Bs. He never mentioned the Wall until after Trump got into the race. He will not expand the base because he is such a preachy, self-righteous guy.
Cruz was criticized by the establishment for lobbying the house to defeat it. It was characterized by the establishment as something a senator shouldn’t do. At the same time he was doing this, Donald J. Trump was funding the very people who were pushing it.
