George Will: Ted Cruz Is ‘Completely Indifferent To The Fact That Politics Is A Team Sport’ [VIDEO]
DailyCaller ^ | 15 DEC 14 | Al Weaver

One day after saying Elizabeth Warren and Ted Cruz had no idea “what they were trying to accomplish,” syndicated columnist George Will said Monday on “Special Report” the pair have two “exceedingly strange careers underway.”

Will told Fox News’ Doug McKelway that Cruz is “indifferent” to politics being a “team sport,” adding further that there hasn’t been “a more peculiar career” in the Senate than the one Cruz is currently enjoying.

The conservative columnist also said while Democrats are “bemused” by his antics, he is “loathed” within the GOP caucus, while also telling McKelway if Cruz doesn’t get the GOP nomination in 2016, assuming he runs for it, his return to Washington will be “awkward.”

Maybe Cruz is tired of playing for the Washington Generals and wants to actually win.

The GOPE wouldn’t know what a team player means:
loyalty, honor, sacrifice, trust and duty is if it hit them right between the eyes. I am convinced the GOPE would hand their kids over to the nearest taliban kook if they thought it meant winning another election and staying in power. They are really beyond the definition of white trash, just the dregs of humanity.

Me thinks Will understands this principle.

He is simply a bench player for the single team.

George Will's wife worked for Reagan.

Reagan had exceeding personal charm, but didn't care about getting along to get along.

I'm surprised Will didn't seem to notice.

Cruz is making all the right enemies.
