I don’t see how anyone would give credit to Trump. Ted has been standing up to these frauds since he started running for Senate.
Because Cruz was losing his voice and his support after those very bad trade deal negotiations and being played. Cruz got out there, acknowledged that he was warned that he'd be betrayed and made clear how that works in DC. It was a very Trump-like speech....annihilate those who cross you, praise those who don't.
I hope someone in the HOR stands up in the same fashion. Put it to the reps who are willing to compromise with Boehner because they're afraid of being punished. I'd wager 80% of people outside of DC hate Boehner....pols would be idolized if they stood up to be counted!
