Sure, after all Trump has such a horrible track record when it comes to accomplishing what he set out to do, that’s why he’s not a TRILLIONAIRE.

What’s Cruz ever accomplshed, anyhow? Other than going to school, giving speeches, being a lawyer, and pissing everyone in the Senate off? But somehow, the man who can’t get anything accomplished in the Senate and is despised by BOTH parties will be wonderfully effective as President?

Interesting. You would prefer someone well liked, Like Boehner, for instance?

I have been in the unfortunate position of being right when others around me were wrong. It isn't comfortable, you don't make friends, and in the end there is a mad scramble by the very people you fought tooth and nail to take the credit for what you said or did.

I know how difficult it is to endure such, to stick to your guns, and persevere.

Cruz has done that.

It hasn't made him friends in the 'go along to get along set' we so heartily despise in Congress and elsewhere. Up until a couple of weeks ago, that was seen as a virtue.

That he can't get anything done is more a comment on the Congress, including many of the Republicans, and the POTUS himself, but that doesn't mean Cruz isn't right.

If getting a bill through Congress is the metric, well, Trump hasn't done that either.

Trump’s track record is to sales pitch other people out of their money and attempt to build a highly leveraged high risk real estate empire. When the financial house of cards falls, declare bankruptcy and stiff the investors. Keep repeating the cycle until you finally dodge the risks long enough to stabilize.

Trump filed bankruptcy four times, screwing over for sets of people. I could see one bankruptcy being due to extraordinary circumstances. Four demonstrates a pattern of behavior. Chuck Schumer’s recent glowing support of Trump speaks volumes on who he gets along with, wouldn’t you say?

As a lawyer, Cruz argued at the Supreme Court. As a jurist, that is way up the career chain. Pissing off the Uniparty Senate is a conservative resume enhancer. When it’s one against the Uniparty, sometimes the victory is to get the message out even in defeat, if for no other reason to expose the problem.
