Look at those numbers again.
U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) joined 17 other Republicans in voting for the confirmation of San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro to be the next Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). U.S. Senator Ted Cruz joined 25 other Republicans in voting against the confirmation.
More GOP Senators voted with Ted Cruz than voted with the Republican leadership (and President Obama).
Recall the debt limit fight, when Cruz' "filibuster" forced McConnell and Cornyn to vote in favor of raising the limit -- and then most GOP Senators chose to follow Cruz?
Now, it's happened again.
Cruz is adroitly challenging the GOP-e leadership...and he is winning.
Yes but I wish it was happening faster.
