Part of the reason he wanted to be prez is because he was soooo very bored with being a senator. And it was so very below his pay grade.

You got a good point there. I didn't know how dismal he actually was in the senate.

.

Committee assignments:

According to transcripts as reported by Politico, in his first two years in the Senate, Cruz attended 17 of 50 public Armed Services Committee hearings, 3 of 25 Commerce Committee hearings, 4 of the 12 Judiciary Committee hearings, and missed 21 of 135 roll call votes during the first three months of 2015.[113]

That’s a pretty appalling record. Manages to be lazy and ambitious at the same time. Quite a feat!
