I don't know his record in the Senate is pretty good. He led the charge to stop the Gang of 8 Amnesty Bill. He led the charge against Obama Care. His and Mike Lee's filibuster that brought on the government shut down came the closest to stopping it of anyone in the Senate. If the rest of the party had backed him up that might have been the end of Obama Care. I will never forget watching him as he took a stand for the Freedom of this country and got real people involved by having them send in Tweets live and he would read them as staffers brought them in. He's tenacious and once in a leadership position could easily get the people in place to make progress bringing back our Liberties.

I'd rather have someone who gets nothing done, than gives into what the Democrats want just to claim they are getting things done. We saw that kind of nonesene under W when the democrats one and had a mandate. Cruz stands by his principles.

I saw no charge against Obamacare. Nothing at all. The amnesty bill died in the House, not the Senate. The shutdown had no impact.

In order to have success, you have to go out and get people on board with you. Otherwise it all ends in nothing.

You are completely correct....and I agree with you on every point. It’s just that I feel that the GOPe and the Dems will cement the Uni-Party, as Paul Ryan has already started to do.....and I don’t think that Cruz can overcome what I will now call the Evil Empire. And I think that Trump really will be a wrecking ball, which is what I really want to see happen for our vets and border wall and economy.

I’ve decided The Trump folks want a dictator. They think they’re getting a benevolent one.
