Texas Senator Ted Cruz, once thought to be an effective if dangerous, mover and shaker, is now the most ineffectual member the Senate -- or so it seems. Rand Paul is all over him.
"Ted has chosen to make this really personal and called people dishonest in leadership and call them names, which really goes against the decorum and also against the rules of the Senate, and as a consequence he can’t get anything done legislatively," he told Fox News Radio."He is pretty much done for and stifled, and it’s really because of personal relationships, or lack of personal relationships, and it is a problem."Paul's comments come after Cruz was unable to garner enough support among his colleagues to get a roll call vote on an amendment Monday, with Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) the only senator to back him. It's the second time since late July that his Republican colleagues have helped deny the Texas Republican a "sufficient second."...TheHill
