so how much has Senator Cruz actually accomplished other than to make stirring speeches and sponsor legistation that went nowhere?

Has he changed anything since 2011?

Where is an action team or coalition he ever assembled to make the changes he talks about?

talk is cheap

1 Senator out of 100 - especially a junior Senator in the structurally-ossified Senate - can't change national policy on any more than can the governor of a state, or a private business man/woman.

That's exactly why they're all running for President.

Well, he was instrumental in killing the gang of eight's plan to pass congressional amnesty.

What he has done is lead the fight against amnesty, and work with the only conservatives in Congress to fight the dems and the establishment republicans.

Marco didn’t do that... And Trump didn’t... Heck Trump was supporting more then the gang of 8 before suddenly he became against it.

Without Ted Cruz, we would already have amnesty.

"We stopped the Gang of Eight bill. Ted Cruz led the fight against the establishment would be living under amnesty right now if Cruz had not succeeded." - Rush Limbaugh

"It was that close to being passed... and I think I can say this with integrity. Without the vigorous opposition of Ted Cruz, this bill likely would have passed." - Sen. Jeff Session

If you like being able to own a gun, thank Ted Cruz who won a landmark Supreme Court decision when the individual's right to keep and bear arms was at stake. He has the led the fight in the Senate to defeat several Obama gun control measures.

Cruz has won several other Supreme Court cases protecting everything from the 2nd Amendment, to Religious liberty, and our very sovereignty. He has many other accomplishments that are too numerous to list.
