Everything Cruz has done in his career has made him the conservative standard-bearer weve been trying to find for decades.
For crying out loud, NO HE IS NOT! In his first job for Bush, he was working with Bush to find ways to defeat immigration enforcement. Conservative standard bearer? No. Wrong!
He defended religious liberty over and over in front of the Supreme Court.
He pled eight cases there and won two. Get a new pitch man. This guy's average is sub-par.
He helped bring down Gang of 8.
The Gang of 8 Bill passed the Senate, and yet Ted has been milking his actions as if he stopped it. He didn't. It passed in the Senate. Ted is not a very honest guy, to put it as nicely a can be stated. His efforts accomplished nothing, and that is obvious.
He filibustered Obamacare articulately, leading to a government shutdown that showed for once Republicans were fighting for their base.
Ted made a show of it. That's all it was. I believe Ted talked overnight and the next moring it was over. Green Eggs and Spam.
That led to a mid-term sweep in the elections, stopping much of Obamas agenda.
Oh please. Ted was not responsible for the mid-term election victories. Most folks knew very little about the guy. You had to be a political junkie to even hear much about him.
Everything hes voted on has been fantastic. He helped roll back NSA spying to name another one.
Ted is a serial exagerator. He is also very creative at coming up with excuses. I've been calling him Mr. Have I Got an Excuse for You.
You're buy too much of what Ted has been telling you.

I've been following his career closely since he started in the Senate and saw all this happen with my own eyes. The Trumpsters' attempts to rewrite history hold no water with me. I know what everyone said would happen in the mid-terms during the shutdown and then I know what I saw actually happen and why people said they voted Republican that year.
I was naturally skeptical of Cruz at first when he was first elected and then learned over time that he was a genuine conservative. I've been praying he would run for President since he did the Obamacare filibuster. I met him in Philadelphia 2 years ago, shook his hand and promised I'd back him if he decided to run.
