There shouldn't be any expectation for Cruz to pass any legislation. He is, after all, in direct opposition to the GOP leadership.
Which is what makes him an attractive conservative candidate, is it not?
Yes, I know Senator Cruz is different from the majority of GOP republicans senators, in that he is much more conservative. So if the senator has difficulty to unify the republicans in senate, what method will he use to unify majority of the 535 congress critters, which includes democrats and socialists, if elected president?
I am impressed with his intelligence, speech making skills and his conservatism on most issues except the middle class job killer pacific trade bill. My problem is he has not shown ability to bring people together to pass conservative agenda bills.
