Cruz Thus Far

On Monday, February 18th, The Austin American Statesmen posted by the editorial board, wrote about Ted Cruz, and argues about how he is doing so far as a senator, and how other senators are dealing with him. This being said, it is obvious that the people of editorial board of the Austin American Statesmen that wrote this do not like Ted Cruz, mainly on how he has been doing thus far. Such things as his statements, how he has been voting, and his stand on gun control has brought up some bad attention. Being posted by the editorial board, should be creditable enough for the viewers, however many of their things do not show many sources, just others negative thoughts about Ted Cruz, such as one anonymous senator that had said "Jim DeMint without the charm" to the Washington post. The main audience is for the people of Texas that are against Ted Cruz, or the ones that are slowly heading that way, and this argument gives a very good push for those that aren't yet certain over Ted Cruz. Their main logic in this post is that Ted Cruz has basically been doing a terrible job and has seemingly been siding more with the Tea Party then with his own party, the republican party. They claim that both Republicans and Democrats are seeing Ted Cruz as a jerk, and that he wears that as a badge of honor. Though for myself, I could neither agree or disagree, with what they are arguing, it seems to soon, and first impressions can sometimes be incorrect and long lasting, it should be given more time before he can or should be highly criticized so drastically, and so that we can have more solid evidence to prove how he has been terrible so far. That being said though, with the things being written I could easily see someone being against Ted Cruz after this, or even someone extremely disagreeing towards it that stands by Ted Cruz.
