“If Cruz actually got something done in the Senate instead of just talking about it, maybe he could have gotten the endorsement.”
By the same token, what has Sessions done extra in the same damn senate? It is hard to blame Cruz for “doing nothing” when he lead the fight against obola care and shut down the gubmint for a while. That was all he could have done. Rump has done diddly squat.
Oh, wait, Rump has given donations to Chuckie and others.
Are you serious? Sessions almost singlehandedly led the fight against W's two major amnesty pushes in 2006 and 2007, years before anyone outside of GOPe circles had ever heard of Ted Cruz. And Sessions again led the fight against the 2013 amnesty push along with leading the fight against TPA and TPP and the other sell-out trade deals being negotiated.
Ted's major 'accomplishment' in the Senate was to stage two or three publicity stunts, which had not chance of success, but which game him material to use in campaign speeches and TV ads telling everyone how he fought the 'Washington cartel'. And which he is now doing ad nauseum.
No one is really "leading a fight" when they are staging a hopeless publicity stunt.
