Cruz and most other Congresspeople aren’t in it for the work. They delegate it to underlings so they can enjoy the prestige, free dinners, parties, and fame. When they are called to business, many dawdle through like it’s the most boring class at high school. Speeches are written by donors and lobbyists.
Until we find some litmus test to ensure we’re electing those who actually want to do the job, American politics are going to be full of self-interested opportunists like Cruz.
