Remember the effort to defund Obamacare and how he got blamed for the so-called shut-down?

Sure I remember, do you remember what was accomplished? Did they defund anything? Did they dump the Majority leader?

It brought Ted to national prominence just like Runt Paul before him but nothing changed and 2017 is way to late to undo what the Socialist/Marxist have brought about, even while the GOP had a majority in both houses.

Color me cynical until I see results and not just speeches.

Let's be perfectly clear, if Scott Walker did not have a Republican Legislature, he would have accomplished nothing. Would you have called him a great leader then?

Because George Washington lost several battles early in the Revolutionary War, was he still not a Leader, even a Great Leader?

Leading entails setting goals (In this case conservative goals), effective and intelligent communication, and the ability to convince people to follow you.

Ted Cruz has those qualities in much more abundance than Scott Walker.

Let me ask you this, if Ronald Reagan was in Ted Cruz's spot, with a Democrat controlled congress, most of the time, and a GOP-E controlled congress and he was not able, as a Senator to push legislation through congress, but on every single conservative issue he was out front and center, would you have called him lacking in Leadership?

You have artificially narrowed your definition of Leadership to fit the situation.
