Well, obviously winesipper Brooks doesn't think that it's the American people in general, and Cruz's Texas constituents in particular.

The GOP Elitists think they’re immune to being voted out on their Elitist rectums?
To: Timber Rattler
Maybe Ted Cruz should tell the GOP leadership that they are very unpopular with the American people...
Cruz is doing his job, the GOP leadership isn’t!

Ted Cruz knows who the boss is because he’s listening to us.

It sounds like the mean high school girls are threatening to call him names and make him cry. My thoughts exactly.
I don't think Ted cares. His dad came from Cuba.

Whatever, Bud. You have no idea what you’re talking about. A “cultural commentator” for the NY Slimes has no credibility.

In the words of Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer, "We had to destroy Barry Goldwater as a member of the human race."
Don't rile the RNC. The proper people are in charge and you're not.

Once again the lie is propagated.
The Reps ain’t voting to shutdown the government, everything is funded except Obamacare.
But the progressives know their audiance, low information, weak minded voting majority, that couldn’t think there way out of a wet paper bag.

Ted Cruz is representing what a majority of the people want. David Brooks is irrelevant.
