BOL! Now Cruz is all the Marines who fought in WWII. Can’t you just throw in Superman and Captain America, to make it a trifecta?
Here is some background on the Brat race, of which you seem entirely ignorant. Namely, no one gave Brat any chance at all of defeating Cantor. Brat was a pathetically underfunded college professor going up against the lavishly funded second-most-powerful member of the House. It was anticipated that Cantor would crush him.
This is why Cruz never set foot in the district. He didn’t endorse Brat, didn’t contribute any $, or even send a supportive tweet. Cruz wanted no part of Brat’s doomed-to-fail quixotic quest.
Yet here you are, trying to credit Cruz for Cantor’s defeat. It’s unseemly, not to mention perversely divorced from reality.
However, I’m willing to make a deal with you. If you can find and link one credible source, which cites Cruz calling for the defeat of Mr. Dream Act himself, Cantor, I’ll concede Cruz played a role in Cantor’s defeat. If Cruz is all you claim, it shouldn’t be at all difficult for you to locate such a quote.
I’ll wait.
I don’t know if he said anything specific about Brat or not.
What I do know is that the primary reason Cantor was defeated was because of his position on immigration.
I also know that one of the main firewalls against the amnesty getting easily pushed through and one of it’s most publicly vociferous opponents was Ted Cruz. It had passed the Senate a year earlier and he immediately got to work speaking out against it and organizing the House to stop it.
If it had sailed through the House with little or no opposition in late 2013 or early 2014, do you think Brat would have won?
Again, the Air Force was able to deliver the kill shot to the Japanese because the groundwork that had been laid by the Marines. One would not have worked without the other. Neither I nor Jeff Sessions would be as obtuse as to ignore Brat’s efforts as you are to ignore Cruz’s.
