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 hasnt 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 doesnt get the GOP nomination in 2016, assuming he runs for it, his return to Washington will be awkward.

Politics is a team sport, George is just upset that Ted doesn’t change teams once he is in office.
Yep. Life During Wartime.
And yes, this is a war. This is a war that will decide whether the United States survives in any form resembling that which the Founders created. We have very few chances left, maybe only one.
As I see it right now, Ted Cruz is the only one who might be able to reverse the decline, and even then, it will be an almost impossible task.
Is Cruz perfect? No. Will he make mistakes? Of course.
The last perfect man was killed by his government about 2,000 years ago.
Hey George, piss off, and stick to old-timey baseball.
These people (including our legislators) are so far removed from the American people and their plight that they DO view this as a sport.
The "R's" VS the "D's".
"Go our team! Rah, rah rah."
They have completely forgotten that the legislation they are voting on is actually affecting people's lives and does not just serve to give them power over their adversaries.
It takes a brave man to stand alone against evil.
Politics may be a team sport but sometimes principle means standing alone.
No he's not. He's just out there showing that the GOPe is playing on the same team as the Democrats, that's all.
Poor George. So this is what a RINO neanderthal sounds like as he goes extinct.
George Will. Conservatives Won’t.
“Ted Cruz Is Completely Indifferent To The Fact That Politics Is A Team Sport”
Senator Cruz knows it’s a team sport, he’s leading the Conservative team. Unlike George Will, Senator Cruz realizes that the republicans have become team “Washington Generals” to democrats team “Harlem Globe Trotters”. Senator Cruz would like to re-establish team “Conservative Republican”.
George Will is often “loathed” by many for his inside-the-beltway-itis.
If there ever was a badge of honor, being loathed by establishment, big-government types is it.
Loathed by those that WE loathe. Big deal.
Sure, Will, it may be a team sport, so when are the eGOP going to start playing for our side?
George Will took the MSM big money and sold out over 20 years ago. It made him rich, but he sold his soul to the devil to do it.
” The fellows on what’s supposed to be our team have been playing for the other side. They have been getting paid to lose; damn well paid, too.”
NAILED it!
I don’t if anyone else knows this. George Will is a BIG TIME Chicago Cubs fan. So when he talks about Cruz not being a “team” player is probably a good thing.
