Lol, what complete BS. Cruz has been running for president since he made it into the Senate. And that so-called filibuster against Obamacare (zero chance of success) was nothing but a Cruz publicity stunt and material for later TV ads in a presidential run (which Cruz has used often).
Cruz spent (wasted) a lot of time in the Senate establishing himself as someone who stood up to the "Washington cartel". And he used those publicity stunts to gain name recognition. And he announced well before anyone else to gain name recognition.
He was far from an unknown when he announced for the presidency.
So IMO Cruz is MARRIED to a big part of our problem and if ever you get Cruz in he will continue the culture of Goldman Sachs being literally married to it.
