Now, we all know how the Senate works and how pretty much isolated Cruz is. Most of his stuff has only one co-sponsor, Lee. So to people who look in from time to time from the outside, it's easy to get cynical---not about Ted, but about the situation where it's VIEWED like he has no power, hence, won't be able to "change things."
Cruz worked with the Bush administration and his wife as well so there is likely more interaction between them than we may know about.
Moreso than being a Senator for 3 years, Ted’s entire life has been geared towards running for President. He was trained as a lawyer, policy guy for GW, Texas Solicitor General, Senator and now Presidential candidate. He’s an establishment guy in every sense of the word, he’s just the best of the establishment guys running. Ted actually has conservative principles but he’s an absolute insider and beholden to the same monied interests the rest are, just a little more principled than the rest. It amazes me that the Cruz people on here don’t understand that Trump is exactly what we’ve been asking for for years. A man unbeholden to special interests, a man who says what he wants irrespective of political correctness and a man running on a conservative and unabashed America first platform. One can argue that the Cruz people also don’t grasp the sea change that’s happening right now in politics either. They want it to work the old way, just with a guy who’s part of the system but seems to be a conservative.
A valid point, but who in the House or Senate is going to play ball with President Trump? Same concern with Cruz! ....whoever wins will need a very strong mandate and control of both houses....
