MAYBE, after he’s gotten a few years older and some life experience under his belt AND actually PROVEN himself beyond some words and picking some unwinnable fights, then I MIGHT be persuaded differently.
The guy is 45 years old and has never had a job outside government/politics. He hasn’t shown me he can convince anyone outside of the already devoted to follow him anywhere. That’s what a leader does and I’m not seeing it.
You are so right. Cruz has never accomplished anything. He was just another slimy lawyer on the government dole. He sought out only the easiest, low profile cases.
When religious freedom was under attack he won a case before the Supreme Court and protected that 1st Amendment right, so I will give him that. But the 1st Amendment, as it applies to religious freedom, isn’t that big of a deal.
When he established that the 2nd Amendment is a right of the individual and not a collective right before the Supreme Court, it is not like we ever had to worry about it. The left is making noises about taking away firearms, they don’t actually mean it. Again, just another case we can disregard.
The Ten Commandments, on public display on state property in Texas, should be torn apart. Who does Texas think it is having such a detrimental affect on the question of state’s rights to offend those that wish to destroy a symbol of that state’s and this country’s values? I really wish Cruz would have kept his nose out of that one when he wasted taxpayer money winning the case before the Supreme Court.
Ted Cruz, just another slimy lawyer, always going to the Supreme is enough to prove he has no values, just look at the cases he keeps selecting! Like that pathetic, low profile case that he won before the Supreme Court forever protecting the Pledge of Allegiance. You would think Cruz would at least select something half way conservative to get involved in.
Protecting the sovereignty of the United States before the Supreme Court against international bodies, and winning? What nerve! We need to surrender our sovereignty and Cruz won a case rejecting foreign government intervention in domestic affairs. I am really liking Cruz less and less.
He can’t get along with anyone in Congress. You never get things done that way. You have to reach across the aisle and give the Democrats what they want. McConnell, Ryan and McCain know how the game is played. Cruz needs to learn the game from these guys before he runs for president. Conservatives have been whining and crying about Obama care and getting rid of it. Cruz thought we were serious! He actually went so far as to shut down the government to defund it! What was he thinking?
Now Trump, there’s a guy that can get things done! He has said he can make deals! That’s what we want. We want to deal with Democrats. Trump knows Democrats and has donated to the for decades. He has their number!
Cruz has never done anything. He hasn’t actually advanced conservatism or American values. He blows smoke and collects a government paycheck.
I'm glad we agree.
