It’s not a matter of inconvenience. I cannot think of any Senator in the last 100 years who took on the entire body repeatedly as a freshmen.
Your line about “greatest outsider” is a weak strawman attack. I merely pointed out to you that accusing Cruz of being an insider is inaccurate at best.
If you think that Cruz should have been able to somehow ram through bills in opposition to almost all the other members - well that’s kind of unreasonable don’t you think?
Who has ever before called the majority leader a flat out liar? Who else actually spent all night filibustering.... ug.

It isnt a strawman. Isn’t that part of the myth of Cruz that is being shopped around? That he is the ultimate outsider?
You are in the Senate = you are on the inside.

Well if he cant get ANYTHING of major substance through, then why is he running for president? He still has to work with these people if he wins. And God knows if the GOP loses one or both houses. Then he is a lame duck.
We mocked Obama and Hillary for having similar thin records and accused them of running for the Senate just to skip out and run for president, but for Cruz, apparently it’s a plus.
