Shutting down the government was argued by the GOPE to be a disaster for the party in 2013.
They were terrified and to this day it is the primary reason most senators do not like Cruz.
If the GOPE was correct then voters would have punished the Republicans in the Senate elections of 2014. Democrats at that time controlled the senate. They believed based media reports that Cruz’s “foolish” shutdown of the government would lead the public to give the Democrats more seats in the senate.
not only did that not happen, but more conservatives and republicans were elected to the senate.
Had the senate not changed hands in january of 2015, Eric Holder would now be sitting in Justice Scalia’s seat.
If that were the case, we would already be accepting multiple catastrophic supreme court decisions with regard to our values.
I believe Cruz’s brave stand in 2013 is what encouraged the public to believe they could send more fighters like Cruz to the senate in fall of 2014.
That is what happened.
Banning terrorists from the United States absolutely is a conservative bill.
It is time to reward Ted Cruz for his good work and successes on our behalf.
Cruz will never be elected President.
Sorry if that pops your bubble.
By April 26th he will be mathmatically elimated.
If the GOP rigs the nomination for him to stop Trump,
Cruz will lose. He will be blamed and he will be finished.
He will then go to work for Goldman Sachs.
If Americans believed all the things you said Cruz did,
he would be leading the Presidental race.
Not trailing Trump.
