A Texas take on Ted Cruz's presidential bid

Sorry I can’t give attribution on this statement, it was in some article I was reading earlier this morning:

Those who demand to know what major policies Ted Cruz has advanced to passage will find few things. But those who ask what has Ted Cruz stopped that would harm Americans or their wallets will find many things.
When the White House decided to suspend flights into Israel, Cruz held up a presidential appointment. Flights resumed quickly. When Republicans and Democrats were working together to drive up the national debt, Cruz rallied other House and Senate conservatives to get the plan scaled backed.
Cruz has not won every fight. The Republican establishment hates him almost as much as the establishment hates the Republican base. They blame Ted Cruz for a government shutdown when, essentially, that shutdown exposed the Republican leadership in Washington as a bunch of hucksters fundraising on the desires of its voters only to ignore those desires once in power. These same leaders were almost gleeful at the thought that they could blame Ted Cruz for the GOP not winning the Senate in 2014. Then they did win and have behaved like the dog that caught the car ever since.
The measure of a conservative in Washington, who went to “make DC listen” as Cruz’s twitter hashtag suggests, cannot be “what have you done for me,” but must be “what have you stopped from being done to me.” Cruz, however, will now ironically pivot to tell the American people what he wants to do as president. A presidential candidate cannot run on no agenda. We will finally get to see Cruz’s governmental agenda. We can finally decide for ourselves what the nation would look like after four years of a President Cruz.

Hundreds of words about his come-from-nowhere Senate victory and not one word mentioned about Sarah's endorsement and support. That was a huge factor that they still can't bring themselves to admit.

Can you elaborate on what Ted Cruz has actually done?
___________________________________________________________

Before being elected to the U.S. Senate:
Have you ever heard of a Solicitor General?

Since being elected to the U.S. Senate:
He has been the Conservative voice for Conservative Americans,......

....been a U.S. Senator who went nose-to-nose with Obama, the Liberal Democrats and the RINO Republicans and stood for the Constitution; even when he had to stand alone....

In a nutshell, Ted Cruz took D.C. by a storm; rocking the old-line, Washington Establishment (in both Parties) and served notice that their days of running rough-shod over the American People, and the Constitution, was over: “I’m watching you and I will call you out and bitch slap you before the entire nation.”

All of the above is more important that sponsoring a bill to name a Post Office after some crusty, old, political fart. THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN!

Calculating to cause them to take the bait and bite, then make them all look like fools when he changes gear.

Weasel Walker made a major blunder by going to a closed door chamber of commerce meeting.

Just saw Ted Cruz speaking at his speech announcing his run for Presidency.

Everyone ? Check it out, were he talks about born again Christians not voting in recent election cycles.

Turn up the sound and listen to the sound of Ted Cruz foot steps, sounds like someone who is in command.

Reminds me of the movie Kelley’s Heros when they were walking down the street towards the German tank with the : THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY theme playing.

Turn up the sound of Clint Eastwood walking down the street with spurs on his feet with the song, or theme from : THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY.
