maybe you should have been more interested in making time erica....
erica... you are one dumb journolista.
That’s what makes him what he is. He may have a long term strategy. The war of Independence was one loosing battle after another until the tide finally turned.
He’s a brilliant man with scruples(for a politician).
he is fighting the proper fights, it doesn’t matter if they are “losing fights”
He often seems to be the only “Republican” standing up and doing the right thing
It’s a rigged game until we get more Ted Cruz’s in Congress. What would the tipping point be? 10%? 20%?
When I was a city councilman, I often picked fights I knew I would lose, because I could force debate on issues and show up certain other council members (via our live, televised meetings) as either being ignorant or tools or both. As a consequence, I engendered much fear and much respect and often did in fact win on other issues precisely because of that fear and respect.
Yep. They know their end motive is to discredit them and paint them in a bad light. I don’t know many people I’d like to spend my time with like that either. The MSM is good about hiding their true motives until you a few minutes into the interview after they soften you up to deliver the suckerpunch.
Erica Grieder bores me.
It’s called positional development.
Three blind Rino. Three blind Rino.
See how they run. See how they run.
They all ran after Senator Cruz,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?
George Washington lost twice as many battles as he won during the Revolutionary War. And yet he ultimately won because the British didn't understand what they were fighting.
The same will hold true for the Washington apparatchiks who think Cruz is losing.
Didn't think you'd understand.

George Washington: The general is smart, so why can’t he resist picking so many losing fights....
The good Senator from Texas is fighting the fights that the GOPe won’t fight. He’s among the few who are doing the PEOPLE’S work instead of working some ‘line my pockets’ crap like most of DC.
I stand with Ted.

If the people writing for this web site were half as smart as they think they are, they would know this. Or maybe they do know this, but want to make people think that Ted losing fights is a bad thing and that Ted is foolish for doing so. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. By picking losing fights, Ted is forcing national debate on issues that the rest of Congress would like to see buried from public view because it impedes their ability to operate the country for their own benefit instead of for the benefit of our citizens.
If all of you little coupon clipping journalistas who infest [Politico] are so fricking smart, why can’t you resist putting out such a crappy, stupid blog?
Didn't think you'd understand.
Sounds like Cruz is choosing his words very carefully when he talks to the press. Almost like they're hostile and predatory...
When he wins a second term, they’ll call him the “former freshman senator”.
I wish people would learn how to minimize the number of useless sentences when writing articles.
Her premise is so vapid
The constitution is his sidearm. He’s outnumbered but whom he’s fighting for, and the institution he’s fighting for is the only viable choice if the country doesn’t end up destroyed
It’s like if the entire institution of HS football was taken over by steroid users but no one would admit it. Some less equal were prosecuted to make it look good but eventually it was going to get cleaned up for the sake of the game and the kids’ education.
One team disallows it, zero tol, and plays the kids. They have a great and knowledgeable coach and tons of support from a not so usual crowd They lose every time
Do they quit?
This vapid feminist would say so
Maybe she needs to review the serpico case
He’s so smart-—and outnumbered 50 or 80 to one...might that be a factor?
