Someone please explain it to me 'cause I don't get it: what the hell is Cruz up to here? The man makes no sense, none at all, if his goal as a Senator is to contribute to the governance of the country and try and maintain a conservative effect on that governance as much as is possible given the unfavorable circumstances, which I assume is what by and large his Texas constituents want. But by what the man does and says that goal doesn't seem to be his intention - so what the hell exactly is the man up to? Is he just trying to make a name for himself so that he can turn that name into money later? Rather dishonorable and deceitful behavior that, but he'd hardly be the first to have come to Washington for such a purpose. Is he planning a run for governor of Texas and thinks talking tough to all and sundry on the hill no matter how foolish, misguided or untruthful that tough talk is is a damn good way to get there? Okay, fine, whatever - but seems to me damaging your party as a whole on a national level in order to serve a much more narrow and self serving end is more of a career killer than a career booster - but then I know nothing of how things work in Texas, so who knows, maybe he's on to something there. Still, in the general scheme, hardly amounts to laudable behavior I'd say.
Can it really be he thinks he's making sense or that what he's doing is credible? I know he talks like it is, but everybody says he's a really bright guy so he can't actually believe that's the case - well, unless of course he's nuts. Is he nuts? Is he bat shit crazy? He kind of looks crazy, that's true - but I have a hard time seeing how a person can get to the US Senate if they're wacko bird crazy without someone along the way standing up and saying 'hey, in case you haven't noticed, this guy is frickin' nuts!'
Or is it he's a true believer and like all such souls drunk on the seductive grandeur of his delusions? In that case I guess he could indeed believe he has acquired some viable power with his antics - he hasn't of course, the man has zero chance of becoming president and given that the majority of his colleagues must thoroughly despise and distrust him at this point his Senate career is like to be a one off affair - still, if indeed delusional, he may have convinced himself otherwise. Hey, maybe he's gifted with second sight and has seen a future where America is saved from the evils of liberalism by a right wing coup and he's setting himself up to be the natural leader of that revolutionary redux - that at least would be a level of crazy that might help explain what the hell this man think's he's doing here.
