He battles only conservatives.
He is only one vote in the senate. He was the ONE VOTE that Reid needed to eliminate the debt limit. He came through. For Reid.

This must hurt, from Ted Cruz today:
“Congratulations to every Republican who won the primary last night. Three, in particular, deserve special mention,” Cruz wrote Wednesday on Facebook, before mentioning Attorney General Greg Abbott (a candidate for governor), Cornyn, and George P. Bush (candidate for land commissioner).
“John is a friend, and a good man. He’s earned considerable respect in the Senate. We have not agreed on everything, but we have agreed on the vast majority of issues. Together, we’re a strong and effective team for Texas,” Cruz wrote, later adding that he is “proud” to endorse Cornyn.

Cruz did the right thing in being a party man and in refusing to endorse anyone in the primary, which is basically a family fight. He’s a smart politician.
