Outside of Ted's filibuster against Obamacare, what has he actually accomplished as a Senator?
What bills did he write or sponsor that made it to a floor vote?
If he did write or sponsor any legislation, did any of it pass?
Did he even co-sponsor any landmark legislation?
I know that he did well with cases before the Supreme Court, but he was an appointed Solicitor General, by then Texas Attorney General, Greg Abbott. Ted argued the cases that were assigned to him. He didn't bring those cases before the court, himself.
I know that Ted was an excellent student in law school, and was a top debater. He's well known for that.
So, besides those few things, can you tell me what Ted's actually done in his government career that makes you believe he's such an outstanding conservative?
Remember - talk is cheap.
Cruz has DONE nothing and ACCOMPLISHED nothing compared to what Trump has accomplished in his life, ARE THESE CRUZ SUPPORTERS KIDDING ME!!!! I mean I am astounded by this nonsense Windflier!!!

Cruz was more pro-active in finding conservative causes than you might think.
Excerpts:
From the start, it offered a chance to turn his legal acumen into political potential, because it came with a green light to advance conservative aims in the courts. Abbott’s directive for the solicitor general of Texas, Cruz said in his book, was to “look across the country” and “identify chances to defend conservative principles.”
This is not the traditional definition of a solicitor general’s job...
The way Cruz did the job? Even the defense was offense, and the interests being asserted were less those of the state than its conservative leaders.
“Texas is a huge state, and there’s plenty of work for the attorney general’s office to do,” said Jim Ho, an attorney in Dallas who succeeded Cruz as solicitor general and is a friend and supporter. Cruz, though, “was not content to simply do what was asked and go home.”
When it came to cases that allowed him to argue for things like the forceful application of the death penalty and expressions of religion in the public arena and against things like abortion and gun control, Ho told me, Cruz “was on constant watch for opportunities to press a conservative vision of the Constitution.”
The fight against the budget and the debt ceiling were a pretty big deal. He was one of the few Senators willing to fight. That is what we want, right?
The Supreme court fights are a pretty big deal, too.
