Ted Cruz has worked his way up the Republican chain, almost from nowhere. He has made a lot of enemies along the way, there is no doubt about that. No Republican in recent history has managed to cause such controversy and ruffle so many feathers. This could be the type of Republican that the GOP needs to shake off a decade worth of decline and division. America's left-wing media lapdogs may think the Tea Party has faded from conservatism, but they couldn't be more wrong. The Tea Party and Ted Cruz could deliver one of the biggest defeats in Democratic history by uniting the party's factions.

Brilliant.
I sure hope he hasn’t passed any bills in a Dem-led Senate. If he had, that would make him either a RINO or Marco Rubio. The best you can do in this type of environment is OBSTRUCT —as much as possible —all the bad legislation in that originates in that body.
He hasn’t “worked his way up the chain”....he didn’t have to wait through the line of Republicans waiting their turn to do the right thing because THERE WAS NO LINE!! All he had to do was get elected and do his job and that’s all it takes to vault him to the head of the party because the rest of them are spineless pussies (with exceptions, I’m not saying he’s the ONLY one doing his job). Sad, but just doing what he was elected to do makes him stand out, when it should just make him one more among the (R) Senate delegation.
Ted Cruz makes some Canadian conservatives wish he wouldn’t have revoked his citizenship and instead run for office in OTTAWA. Consider yourselves lucky.
