“Senators do not actually do much which is one of the knocks against a Senator running for President. “
I’m not sure what you mean by “get things done”. There has been tons of Senators from both sides getting a lot done but none of it good.
For starters he has sponsored about 25 or more pieces of legislation. Looking at the list of them you will be able to tell what he supports and believes. A bill to repeal Obamacare is one. To allow states to require proof of citizenship to vote is another. In support of the Keystone pipeline. His Senate bill 2195 was passed & signed by Obama.
He served on 5 committees and 8 sub-committees during his short term.
There is more if you care to do some more research. Check Conservative Review. They rate the senators and give their explanations why. The review the senators and what they have done while in the Senate.
Wikipedia lists his education, career and time in the Senate and his accomplishments as well as his policies and statements & Speeches in the Senate. It’s a good place to start.
There is also his book, “Ted Cruz A Time For Truth”.
How many of those bills have actually passed and made America better? I think it is great he believes these things, and I applaud him for it, but nothing gets done and he knows it will not when he introduces these bills. That is what I mean by “largely symbolic actions”. I do not mean to impugn Cruz, it is just how the Senate works. As I said, Senators do not actually do much which is one of the knocks against a Senator running for President.
