“So being a “patriot” prevents him from leading?”
What did you have for breakfast? It sure as heck was not carrots because you were unable to read the post correctly.
Where did I say “being a patriot PREVENTS him from leading?”
The question you should be asking is why, if there are so many like-minded people in the Senate, has Cruz apparently alienated so many, even to the point of getting Rand Paul (whom I'm not fond of but who could be an ally) to be his enemy?
It doesn't concern you at all that a man who wants to be the nation's leader has been unable to get more than one senator to follow him on anything?
