Furthermore, Look at Cruz’s legislative history on Congressional Quarterly’s database and you will find that since he became a senator in January 2013, he has been the main sponsor on 44 bills and a cosponsor on 187. Of those on which he was the primary sponsor, only one passed. That is leadership? And the one that passed? Something about stoping Iran’s proposed U.N. envoy from entering the United States; Iranian Ambassador Hamid Aboutalebi
His legislative history has been one of making a lot of Republican senators look bad for not keeping promises and not standing for the constitution. I’m sure that has influence his numbers adversely.
