The vitriol being spewed against Cruz by other GOP Senators is repulsive.
Their main gripe is that he made them work a little over the weekend, missing the Army Navy football game and entertaining their families.
And all over the unconstitutional actions of our President regarding Immigration. They all bitched and groaned about it when it was happening, but, God forgive, to ask them to work a weekend is beyond the pale.
Maybe Cruz is a little too brash for his own good, but someone has to put the pressure on McConnell or it will just be business as usual next year.
Obviously not making friends in the Senate, but unclear if it is working among the public. Lots of people don’t like him. Not a good place for a Presidential candidate to be.
You’ve summed up a lot of the problems.
Elected officials that don’t want to work for the people.
Cruz being labeled “brash” - that is how people have been conditioned to see him - how the MSM and the GOPe continue to characterize him.
If Cruz makes “friends” in the Senate - that means he has to do what the leadership tells him.
So he needs to reach out to the people - like Reagan did.
