Sen. Ted Cruz, on Friday at the end of a nearly 20-minute speech on the Senate floor, accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of lying to him. Sen. Ted Cruz, on Friday at the end of a nearly 20-minute speech on the Senate floor, accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of lying to him.

Ted Cruz, the first Latino elected to the Senate from Texas and the first Hispanic law clerk for a chief justice of the Supreme Court, has more potential to gain than other presidential candidates as citizens begin to learn more about him. Most voters have yet to hear and see him at this best--when he is debating. While Cruz begins this week preparing for the upcoming debates in August, his opponents continue to worry about Donald Trump's strong momentum.

Republican presidential candidate is known as the "smartest man in Congress" by Rush Limbaugh.

Often compared to President Ronald Reagan, some of the similarities are prominent. During the 1980 election, Reagan was despised by many in the Republican leadership because he would not go along with their politics and agenda. When he challenged Gerald Ford, the sitting president in 1976, he made adversaries within the party.

Like Reagan, Cruz said from the beginning his purpose in Washington was not to make friends. Instead he has gained recognition for standing out and doing what most Senators will not dare try. His record is one of fighting for conservative and independent voter causes even when they aren’t widely held by established politicians. Many conservatives considered Cruz brave for taking on Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell by revealing his "flat out lie" Friday. Some politicians, loyal to the establishment, were quick to call Cruz out.
