Completely agree with you. I don’t do hero-worship, either. But I believe Cruz is a good, decent, courageous man, and a solid conservative.
I don’t get the above bickering. If your house (nation) is on fire, are you grateful for the fertilizer/seed spray truck that saw it and volunteered to put it out, or are you bitchy because the pedigreed Fire Engine (15 minutes away) didn’t get to put it out first?
