From the article:
Cruz went up against members of his own party to spearhead the government shutdown in 2013, making him...a magnet for the ire of congressional leadership.

We have seen how effective our congressional leadership is: apparently Cruz is just what we need. Hope he names some great folks to his team and runs with it.

Ted Cruz was a backbencher of the minority party and they still want to blame him instead of Harry Reid who was running the Senate.
