Rita, I think it is less that it was viewed as a copy or "parrot" of Trump than it was another example of why the GOP in Washington---even the good guys like Cruz and Lee---just don't appear to "do" anything. So he "introduces" something. That does what? Nothing.

Now OF COURSE he's only one senator, but that's kind of the point. We have had five years of people "introducing a bill" or "filing a motion" or mumbo jumbo that never seems to actually stop Obama and his radical minions.

To you Cruz “introducing a bill” into the senate is somehow less concrete than Trump’s releasing a statement? That evaluation makes sense to you in your head?

Except that it shows they will continue filing bills as president that are unpopular, and will likely get them passed via executive order now that they have the power to do so- perhaps-

Finally, someone has said what I’ve been saying privately about Ted Cruz and one or two other good guys. They haven’t been able to actually DO anything.

It’s more than just ‘introducing’.

Cruz’s introducing such a bill is a good, patriotic move on his part that simply backfires because it requires others to support it to make it go anywhere.

Cruz’s lack of leadership skills are put on display when he can only get 3 or 4 other Senators on board.

Cruz would be better off if he simply announced “When I am President I will....................

Which brings me to another point, it takes a bit of wisdom to recognize and capitalize on what I just said. The fact that he doesn’t draws attention to the wisdom question.

Well I appreciate that point.

It is spot on to say that NOTHING is the goal of the senate, and in a McConnell senate no less. I am painfully sorry for the Mike Lee’s and Cruz & Co., to be stuck in a majority Republican senate and be in the crapper just as deep as if REID were still running it.

McConnell has the spine of cotton candy.

But if Cruz were going to introduce something that will go no where fast, then why not over shoot the moon and introduce something with substance that isn’t the butt of jokes in its substance? I don’t quite get that part of it.
