Cruz may be smart and good at grandstanding, but it’s not clear he knows how to actually get thing done.

OK genius, please prove that Senator Cruz has not gone above and beyond the 'call of duty' with respect to his constitutionally defined duties as Senator.

As this incident proves, the Leadership, you know the ones, McConnell and his team and Boehner and his team will do everything in their power to make sure that conservative bills are not passed.

Please provide us with proof that your contention is true and is supported by the facts.

It goes beyond Constitutional duties. One could probably fulfill those by simply showing up and voting “PRESENT”. My issue is that every time I turn around, I see a story about Ted Cruz sponsoring some bill. Well and good. But there has to be some possibility of getting those bills passed (see below—Cruz only has had one of his bills become law).

I don’t like McConnell either, but Cruz seems intent on pi$$ing people off. That is not the way to get things accomplished. It is the way to find yourself isolated. At some point, if you hit a brick wall, you need to reassess your approach.

Thanks for the post. In fact it looks like Cruz, Lee, Sessions and one or two more R’s are willing to buck the wussie McConnell.
I think it is high time we name names of those are always forcing this Crony Capitalism and GOPe crap down our throats and telling us we need to swallow their “medicine”,
