He had a perfectly good Senate seat, a bird's eye view of stopping the Obama agenda and in some ways, he did stop some key parts of it.
But he threw it all away for a futile run at President, in which he is not eligible for.
Most likely Palin felt snubbed.
He [Cruz] had a perfectly good Senate seat, a bird’s eye view of stopping the Obama agenda and in some ways, he did stop some key parts of it...
But Cruz also let so much die on the vine. He just didn’t keep the conservative heat on in any consistent way. And that whole “Mitch is a liar” embarrassment - embarrassing because everyone and their dog already knew long before that McConnell & Co. were total liars. Cruz was just horrible right before Trump entered the race (Trade, Corker, Globalization, Immigration of all kinds, little to no support for other conservatives running, etc.) Cruz is running a schitzy campaign; adopting Trump’s ideas yet trashing DT even to the detriment of Ted’s own constitutional principles. Unforgivable things are beginning to pile up - insulting Trump voters (by father and son Cruz), not standing up for the 1st amendment regarding protestors, joining with GOPe Bushes.
I think that any man who achieves election to the US Senate and who IMMEDIATELY begins to cast eyes on the Presidency must be scrutinized VERY CLOSELY for excessive ambition and excessive self-regard.
I mean, that’s a feature of all politicians, one we must account for in our calculations, but the Harding-JFK-Obama examples are all bad ones.
Rubio is, obviously, so sick with ambition that he’s failed to hide it, as most of them are able to do. Brother Cruz is handling the stress of covering it up badly, though, and he’s going to be a very lonely man when he returns to the Senate.
Ted Cruz: Donald Trump sees protesters as disloyal people who must be punished

‘It’s also reflected in his treatment of protesters, where anyone who’s a protester is disloyal and must be punished,’ Mr. Cruz told reporters ...
NO, SENATOR CRUZ. READ MICHELLE MALKIN’S ‘UNHINGED’. That’s EXACTLY what Trump, Hannity, and Rush are talking about.
