I just find it interesting that people are willing to attack Cruz for what he does while ignoring the long history of bickering by the left. At least Cruz was respectful while Reid, Pelosi, Biden, etc, have histories of hateful, slanderous comments. What kind of deal has Reid or Pelosi tried to barter? They were totally uncooperative while Bush was president and during the first two years of Obama's presidency refused to pass a budget; but they did pass Obamacare without knowing what was in it!

Do you see the GOP demonizing Reid or Pelosi to the length they went to bash Newt Gingrich? From the time he took over the House to the time he resigned he was deemed responsible for every evil in the universe. How about Reagan being senile (while in office) and trying to blow up the world (and this was while Reagan regularly reached out to Tip O'Neil)? How about Dick Cheney as Darth Vader? Where was the bipartisanship then?

Can you give me an example of a Democratic Congressperson in a position of power who reached out to the other side with some sort of real compromise that was also fiscally responsible? Can you name one Democratic plan to bring down the national debt?
