Ted Cruz is, technically speaking, “the freshman Senator from Texas.”
Mr. Cruz is a lot of things, but he’s hardly a freshman. He single-handedly has given Harry Reid a case of the shingles and has John McCain and Lindsay Graham so upset one nearly had a stroke and the other went apoplectic, but he embodies the true mission of doing The People’s work and really doesn’t care if anyone likes him, and I love it. Moreover, he is a reflection of the members of the earliest Congresses, wherein “rotation” was considered appropriate, meaning that one got elected for a term, stepped aside to let someone else run, and then could run again if so inclined, but the whole idea was to keep Washington fresh with ideas that represented the concerns of the country’s constituents. And Senator Cruz is making them feel the pain because he has something so lacking in supply in DC: ethics.
