How exactly will Cruz get anything done when everyone in Congress hates him? [vanity]

Posted on 01/21/2016 10:03:02 PM PST by springwater13

It's a serious question. What's he going to do when Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell tell him to go to hell? Is he going to tell them they are liars on television and then call into Mark Levin's show and whine? Being President doesn't work like that.

Is he going to be like President Obama and try to use executive orders to ram his legislation through?

Compare that to Trump's approach from Art of the Deal where he asks for 3x more than what he wants, completely disorients his competitors and shakes the ground beneath everyone, and then gets what he wants.

Maybe banning all Muslims to the country isn't realistic. But surely banning Syrian refugees and hell all refugees until we figure out what the hell is going on isn't a radical position right now. It was a radical idea before Trump. That's Art of the Deal.

Cruz won’t have to worry about that. His political career is over.

Ted is just like The Donald. Got a loan from the epitome of the Democrat Establishment GoldmanSachs with no collateral. Except for the favors they knew he would return someday.

It hasn’t stopped Obama one bit. If Cruz out maneuvers Trump, then he will just run on EO’s if the Second Branch doesn’t send what he wants.

Not just true for Cruz, but a horrible president has been set.

“Everyone hates Cruz” is media propaganda and pap. Don’t fall for it. Remember how we were told Obama was a great public speaker, a Constitutional scholar, the “smartest man in the room?”

Cruz knows more about the Constitution and the law than any candidate. He knows clearly what the President can do.

If he’s elected, and the Congress is in Republican hands, expect historical things to happen.

Of course that’s a lie promulgated by hateful Establishment types now only used by Trump as convenient allies. Many conservatives in the House have endorsed Cruz. The fact that the RINOS in the Senate hate him is only reason more for me to support him!😀

The republicans are going to tell the President elect, a Republican, to go to hell? Seriously? That is the dumbest thing I’ve heard all day. They been bending over for Obama for years...but when they have Congress and the White House they won’t do anything?

Cruz is campaigning against Obama’s executive orders. He would be a hypocrite to use the same precedent as Obama.

Of course Cruz is a hypocrite so you are right. He wouldn’t have any problem governing like Obama.

Cruz’s loan had collateral.

No doubt we are in bad shape. Cruz comes across as a lone wolf, which sounds better in theory than practice.

Congress does not like to look stupid so they will go along with him so they won’t get blamed for a shutdown.. He can pull an Obama and it’s my way or the Highway.. Also he has already said if congress sends him a bill laden with pork he will veto!!!

All Bush cared about was everybody liking him. Did they make it easy on him?

Who is talking about everyone liking him? It’s called working with people and not being a jerk. Trump has done deals all his life. He would get things done.

Cruz has never had any executive experience whatsoever. He’s been a lawyer and a politician. He’s been in the Senate for 3 years and has been showboating and running for President since Day 1......just like another one term senator that became President.

No collateral? Why are you posting lies like that?
