Why, it’s almost as if The Smartest Guy in the Room’s co-workers don’t give a shit about listening to him. Huh. Imagine that.

It’s no coincidence that bad weeks for him are good weeks for the USA.

Here’s an idea, and I’m pretty sure this is in the constitution, but if Cruz and the GOP wants to appoint cabinet level officials and department heads, they just have to win the White House. But since they didn’t win in 2008 or 2012, the Dems get to do it. That’s what happens when the winners win, they get to govern.

He’s certainly proven himself to be a class A prick and an egomaniac. I would be surprised if he wins reelection to his Senate seat.

I agree with your first sentence wholeheartedly, but he’s from TX, who is going to unseat him? He’ll win the primary with ease and then…

Fucking Nihilist. People like him are the reason the country can’t have nice things.
If Carnival Cruz can’t give wealthy businessmen and monopolistic power to corporations 100% of the time, he’s going to do whatever it takes to block and thwart whatever progress the rest of America needs to move forward. Texass couldn’t have found a more useless, callous, and mean-spirited piece of shit to serve in the US Senate. Imagine a Senate full of nothing but Carnival Cruz types. It would be the end of this country as we know it.

For a Senator from Texas, those are winning traits.

annual conference of conservatives taking place near Washington, where he is treated as a hero.
He always gets a standing ovation for his rip-roaring rendition of “We Represent the Lollipop Guild.”

Two names: James Inhofe and Tom Coburn. Ted Cruz wishes he could be as useless and actively destructive as the Senators from Oklahoma.

Well, when everything you say is melodramatic and bombastic, people tend to dismiss it as such.
“… the most aggressive assertions of executive power in history”?
Give me a goddamn break.
(You see? That’s the response you get.)

He recently argued that Republican leaders surrendered critical leverage in the immigration fight in December by funding most of the federal government and refusing to halt the confirmation of nominees to aid the push against Obama’s actions.
See, there’s the thing: for a guy who’s supposed to be smart, Cruz’s inability to see that he (and they) never had the leverage they thought they had is simply stunning. Did they really think that Obama was going to sign a budget that wiped out his immigration policy? How could they think that? If the Senate Repubs were unwilling to go to the wall over just the DHS funding, what makes Cruz think they would jump over the cliff for the entire federal budget?
The guy talks good, but he don’t think that good.

It’s Been A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week For Ted Cruz.
And not once did he invoke Hitler by name.
But it’s still only Thursday.

Just a day earlier, Cruz suggested that senators who support Lynch would be abdicating their oath of office.
What oath would that be?

Cruz would be more at home with the crazies in the House.
