    Cruz wanted senators to go on the record re: amnesty, and he achieved that.

    Notice Warren made zero attempt to fight for her amendment. She was all talk.

    Sounds like once again Cruz just being a self serving dick. Even his own party hates the guy.

    Seriously, what do the good people of Texas see in this ******* anyway?

    It really makes no sense. The only thing this did was allow about dozen of Obama's judges be confirmed and piss off republicans.

    I truly think there is a contingent of people in Texas (and on this board) that like Cruz for the sole reason of him being a prick in congress and to the President.

    Texans benefit from great resources, and the luckier the" I got Mine"
    the greater the "screw the rest of y'all".

    Cruz never maligns any of his colleagues, never singles out any GOP senator for criticism (even though they disparage him constantly).

    All he does is pressure other senators to act on their campaign promises, and they hate him for it. That makes him a "jerk".

    Notice most of the senators that voted with Cruz are up for election in 2016. That's not an accident.

    He's making them respond to their constituents, and it ticks them off.

    Ted Cruz tries to score garbage points, and lies his way to doing it to create rhetoric flourish that neither advances policy, nor heightens the level of debate in the chamber. He's either less intelligent that you and Carville claim he is, or he is deliberately being obstructive, and playing loose with the facts. I don't see why people don't like him.

    http://www.politifact.com/personalities/ted-cruz/

    In the 2014 elections, "the American people overwhelmingly said we don't want Obamacare … and we don't want amnesty."

    ->

    ---------------

    "Obama, instead of nominating a health professional, he nominated someone who is an anti-gun activist (for surgeon general)."

    -->
    --------------

    Says the Democrats told the Catholic Church that they’ll use federal powers to shut down church charities and hospitals if the church doesn’t change its beliefs.

    -->

    The problem is right there in the URL. They don't need facts interfering with their narrative. Besides, Politifact is nothing but a liberal spin machine, ask anyone who works at Fox.

    "There's a first time for everything, but public health advocates can thank Ted Cruz tonight for his help getting Vivek Murthy confirmed,"

    White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer tweeted Monday.

    Ted Cruz has to be the least likeable politician in 30-40 years.

    It doesn't matter how well educated or accomplished you are if you are a complete and total *******.

    Absolutely do not like him. Not much about his assholeness. That's between him and his colleagues. It's about his utter dishonesty. The dude can never be trusted with the level of straight face lying he does.
