Cruz has been in the Senate for 2.5 years with most of that time under Harry Reid and all of it with Obama in the White House. Tell me... what do you exactly think he COULD have done?

Get more of his fellow Republicans to stand with him! If he is a leader, he should be able to accomplish that. Compare his ability to garner support compared to Trump’s tens of thousands of supporters who turn out in numbing heat,rain, wind, freezing cold, and every other possible discomfort just to hear him speak.....when they could just sit home and watch him on a live feed. The American people are fed up with politics as usual. They want and DEMAND something different and are willing to bet on an outsider to accomplish a big turnaround in this country.
Cruz has possibilities in the future, but for now, he is not strong enough to lead.
LMAO!! As if standing against Obamacare to the point of absorbing the accusation of “shutting down the government” wasn’t enough on the man’s agenda.
No one has been more on the forefront in the Senate to stem the illegal invasion than Ted Cruz.

Anything else??
The idea that the Senate being full of dedicated RINOs who don’t like Cruz somehow disqualifies Cruz from the presidency is really far out there into the land of lunacy.
If you haven’t noticed, the GOP elites hate Trump too. Do you think if Trump was in the Senate and filibustered for 24 hours against Obamacare the outcome would’ve been any different? Obama would insist he would veto their repeal and the GOP would cave in.
The point is to elect a President who we know and can trust where he stands on the issues. That’s where picking a “consistent conservative” factors in.
