Ted Cruz will never be Senate Majority leader. The position is a perk granted only to GOP-e faithful and the senate is filled with 97 cowards who would never vote for Ted Cruz for that position. In order to be senate Majority leader you have to be in the Senate long enough to make at least 51 close friends. Ted Cruz did not go to Washington to make friends. He went there to make waves.

The only promotion that Ted Cruz is in line for is the Presidency. Anyone who thinks he is not running for President right now is oblivious to the reality of politics.

Well sir, I've seen a few who I thought would run who didn't. He may be running, he may be testing the waters or deciding; I'd like him to, and will support him fully if he does so.

Right now I'm simply pushing to get away from the eligibility issue if the other side will do so as well. A truce to unite behind the defunding effort.

Ted Cruz will never be Senate Majority leader.

I respect your opinion, but you're the one saying "never", not me.

Unless Ted Cruz stays in the Senate a very long time, he’ll never be majority leader.

There is, however, nothing that prevents a former president from returning to Congress, either in the House or Senate
