If I were a Senator I would be despised by a large majority of the other Senators myself. Cruz has the guts to tell it like it is, and that goes against everything that most senators and congress critters of both houses want from one of their fellow critters. Except for a handful of honest men and women Congress is owned lock, stock, and barrel by special interests.
Cruz thinks compromise is a dirty word. He’s always talking about the Constitution. The Constitution was the epitome of a comprise. If Cruz had lived back then, his version of a compromise would have been firing squad if you didn’t agree with him.
