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

Posted on 12/15/2014 9:13:44 PM PST by South40

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.”

Cruz is aware of the problem, which is that too many Republicans have joined the Democrat team.

The dims (Globetrotters) playing the GOPe (Washington Generals) isn't team sport, either. It's pure theater.

Cruz is playing for the American Team, and we are his team mates.

Looking back in REAL American history, there were a lot of individuals who were NOT team players either but collectively seemed to create something pretty damn workable. That is until the need for more than one “team” arrived.

Running the wrong way and scoring a TD for the other side is not being part of a “Team Sport”, George...

He is on a team, the American team not the GOPe team that is only concerned with K street instead of the American people.

Every team needs a leader.

Excellent response! What we're currently missing in Boehner and McConnell is leadership. Their lackey's (like Paul Ryan) aren't any better.

We want Ted Cruz! He and Mike Lee are the ones speaking for us.

The truth can be a lonely place. Especially in D.C.

The selling out of the American people is a sport. Who knew?

George Will is the ultimate insider — he doesn’t have a clue about what the rest of America thinks outside the Beltway. If he think politics is a team sport, why doesn’t he call out Obama attempt at being a one-man state.

George will is the classic RINO wimp. It’s time he should remove his head from where the sun doesn’t shine.

The cozy, incestuous, cocktail crowd that is D.C. is what has destroyed the country both financially and spiritually. Crony capitalists, insider deals, special interests have taken over and rotted out the Republic from within.

Cruz is a bull in a china shop? Good. Because this china shop is corrupt to the core.
