“This is the guy that gave us David Souter on the Supreme Court.”

As well being the source of many of the WORST decisions made by the first George Bush!!!!! The Republican party CANNOT get better until nitwits like this are excised.

Any attention Ted Cruz gets for opposing the power and growth of totalitarian government is a plus in my book.
I fear for his life.

That was the father, former Governor John H. Sununu.

This is the son, former Senator John E. Sununu.

Cruz is guiding the discussions and acting appropriately.

Democrats and the old school Republican leadership are totally like third world dictators in that everything is NEVER their fault, they get rich and retire on the peoples money while making a mess of things.
The Islamic religious leaders act the same way as well. Live this way, pay that, blame others and worship us as well.
How is a real American supposed to operate with all the jerks in power?

Cruz forced a shutdown because the dems refused to delay Obamacare.

Two months after the shutdown via executive action, Obama delayed it.

The take away from the shutdown was that Democrats will lie and showboat to score political points

Cruz did a lot more than just “attract attention”...otherwise Sununu wouldn’t feel compelled to try and sell this load of steaming bovine excrement.

Ted Cruz isn’t doing bad, but he needs some more ‘Likes’.

Like every other member of Congress, Ted Cruz needs to decide if he wants to participate in the process of shaping legislation — which means, on occasion, supporting less than perfect outcomes — or not.

I agree, but Sununu misses the fact that Cruz is shaping legislation. His leadership may not produce good spending bills (ones that cut FedGov by 40% this year), but he is changing the conversation and moving us away from rapid and automatic growth in real spending. I'd settle for seeing spending shrink by 5% to 10% per year in real dollars for the final two terrible years under the communist from Chicago/Hawaii/Indonesia/Kenya. After that, President Cruz can push more aggressively for responsible spending instead of settling for merely less shockingly wasteful spending, for killing Obamacare, for killing Amnesty, and for restoring the rule of law.

The Cruz vote was anything but futile. It forced every member of the Senate to register his/her position on funding Obama’s illegal Amnesty. He attracted half the members of the GOP who voted. Not bad. And we now know who our friends are and who remain solidly in the GOPe camp.

So much for futile. So much for GOPe Sununu.

Sununu is NOT the predictor of the future of the Republican party!

Well, what I got out of this is it reminded me of this:

Hey, former Senator.... current Senator Jeanne Shaheen called. Remember her? She just wanted to say “Ha ha!”

McLame took the maverick label to advance his Presidential aspirations and ingratiate himself among the Washington press corps. He was a “maverick” because he bucked his party and moved to the left. Cruz bucks his party from the right, and this makes all the difference to the establishment.

The real take away was the overall results in the 2014 elections, the ONLY POLL that counts..

F a bunch of dems and media.

Rand has all the Rontard Paulestinians behind him, so of course he has almost a million more likes. Fat lot of good it did his goofy father, who never won a presidential primary.

I’ve never liked Sununu.

“Cruz has gained attention but little else”

So has Howard Baker, but The Establishment doesn’t seem to be climbing over themselves to keep announcing it.

Cruz does not want to be a go along to get along senator.
He is a rare bird who actually strives to fulfill commitments he made to voters during his campaign.

One of one Cruz will defeat Jeb Bush.
With multiple candidate dividing primary voters, Jeb will be your next nominee, and Hillary will defeat Jeb.
