Well, he at least has a washed-up has-been Senator ragging on him. Or would it be more correct to describe Sununu as a “never-was”?

to be an effective senator, the Texas Republican needs to get other members to work with him

No, John, no he doesn't. I voted for him to stir up the moribund Senate, not pass legislation.

It appears the Texan’s inspiration comes not from McCain but his 2008 running mate.

Wow. You can't BUY that kind of endorsement, and from Sununu no less!

Sununu can be good on talk shows from time to time, esposing the conservative point of view, but one should not forget that during the last big campaign, he was deep into the Mitt Romney camp.

Yep, the ‘RATS, the RINOs, the mainstream media ... ... and the Bushes... ... will always tell you who they fear.

TED CRUZ, 2016

Let’s UNITE behind Ted early and defeat the standard “split the conservative vote” tactics.

Cruz has his eyes on the highest office in the land, not some one-out-of-a-hundred senate seat.

Shut up and go away John and let those of us who care about the country do our job

imagine that, an insider establish puke RINO saying that Ted Cruz is irrelevant. obviously the establishment pukes have serious doubts about maintaining their own political strength as it clearly dwindles outside of DC.

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.

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.

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.
