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.

It's quite clear that nobody, including Cruz, is going to "bring people together to pass a conservative agenda" in this Congress Not with this leadership.

And, as President, Cruz woul have the leverage to turn over the Congressional leadership. Recall that GWB was able to do this.

Personally, I think Jeff Sessions would make a marvelous Majority Leader...

However, you'll note that, on several key votes, more GOP Senators than you might think are voting with Cruz than are voting with McConnell.

Take a look at the Cromnibus, the debt limit, etc.
