I like Cruz. He’s the smartest boy in the room—except he scares the crap out of too many people because of his willingness to shut down the government.
You can call it standing for principles or you could equally say that he’s a radical anarchist.
The latest poll I’ve seen says that 79% of the American people don’t want the government shut down. Now that 79% has to include a hell of a lot of conservatives who otherwise would approve of Cruz as a fighter.
He needs to learn how to fight without the appeal to a shut down over every issue.
Exactly the way my young adult son feels about him. My son equates shutting down the government to not paying your mortgage, which he argues is foolish and dangerous. He is not and never will be a Democrat supporter, but he doesn’t like any of the Republicans running either.
