And this doesn’t include reading “Green Eggs and Ham” on the Senate floor.
Maybe sargon and lonestar can also explain why Cruz (aka: “The only Principled Conservative”) did the following:
1) Supported an increase of H1B Visas
2) Voted for the disastrous Iran Corker Bill
3) Worked with Paul Ryan to pass TPA (Think TPP)
4) Went to the southern border with Glenn Beck to pass out Teddy Bears and soccer balls to illegals
5) Acting like a lying sleaze ball in Iowa (e.g. lying about Carson leaving the primary, and sending out those blackmailing mailers to voters
((Crickets))
Happily:
1. Cruz defeated the Bush administration at the Supreme Court on the question of executing illegal immigrant murderer Jose Medellin. The Bush administration argued that international law trumped us and Texas law. Cruz won.
2. Cruz won four other major supreme court cases including cases on religious liberty such as defending the public display of the Ten Commandments at the sate capitol in Texas.
3. Cruz passed a bill out of the senate and it was signed by President Obama — making it a law— that an Iranian ambassador involved in terrorism was barred from the United States. Almost no legislation has passed the senate since it was divided against President Obama.
4. In 2013, Ted Cruz single handedly shut down the Federal government. That action encouraged the general public to believe that one person can fight back. GOPE critics despised Cruz for doing this and the Media said it would destroy the GOP in 2014.
5. I think the work of Cruz in 2013 motivated the public to switch the Democratic Senate in 2014 over to the Republicans. This is a huge development. By this time, Cruz was a much more important part of the Senate than his senior moderate republican counterpart from Texas John Cornyn.
6. The switch of the Senate in 2014 is pivotal. Had Democrats retained control of the Senate, Eric Holder would now be the Supreme Court justice sitting in Scalia’s seat NOW. That would be an incomprehensible disaster. The fact that we may be able to stop a scalia appointment by Obama is only possible because the Senate fell to men like Cruz.
7. Cruz was instrumental in defeating the Gang of 8 bill led by senators like Marco Rubio. Other legislative leaders have acknowledged Cruz’s key role in defeating this bill.
8. Cruz defeated GOPE assigned David Dewhurst whom Perry and others thought would be Kay Bailey Hutchison’s replacement for the Senate in 2012. Cruz won two elections in order to win in a runoff where the GOPE went all in for Dewhurst. This is where Cruz emerged as the incredible outsider that he is.
9. Cruz is the only candidate to defeat Trump so regularly in various locations throughout the nation.
10. Cruz called Mitch McConnell a liar on the floor of the Senate. McConnell is a liar and tricks conservatives into supporting legislation on the floor when he knows he will not reciprocate with future promises offered to those senators. Trump says he will make deals with McConnell.
I don’t have a lot to say for the GOP since Obama took over. Although I will point out that as the legislative assemblies have fallen to the GOP, the deficit numbers have fallen. Spending would be much higher if Democrats controlled the House and Senate as they did in 2008. I also think the Republican control of the Senate is paramount in preventing the appointment of supreme court judges by Obama.
Please list a SINGLE accomplishment of Donald J. Trump.
He spouts rhetoric. That is all.
