Cruz has been in the senate for more than 2 years and the only thing
he has led to passage is banning 1 Iranian diplomat?

For one thing, banning an Iranian diplomat is not a conservative bill.
You should study up a little more.

God bless him for his Supreme Court victories. Maybe he should do
more of that.

As far as shutting down the Gov. How did the nation benefit from that,
besides making some Cruz supporters happy?
What tangible benefit came from that?

We have tried it your way for 30 years. It is not working.
Time for something different.

Shutting down the government was argued by the GOPE to be a disaster for the party in 2013.

They were terrified and to this day it is the primary reason most senators do not like Cruz.

If the GOPE was correct then voters would have punished the Republicans in the Senate elections of 2014. Democrats at that time controlled the senate. They believed based media reports that Cruz’s “foolish” shutdown of the government would lead the public to give the Democrats more seats in the senate.

not only did that not happen, but more conservatives and republicans were elected to the senate.

Had the senate not changed hands in january of 2015, Eric Holder would now be sitting in Justice Scalia’s seat.

If that were the case, we would already be accepting multiple catastrophic supreme court decisions with regard to our values.

I believe Cruz’s brave stand in 2013 is what encouraged the public to believe they could send more fighters like Cruz to the senate in fall of 2014.

That is what happened.

Banning terrorists from the United States absolutely is a conservative bill.

It is time to reward Ted Cruz for his good work and successes on our behalf.
