U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, doesn\u2019t trust those of his own political party, which means he\u2019s really and truly distrustful of those in the other party.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still scratching my head over what he said on the Senate floor the other day.<\/p>\n

If he doesn\u2019t trust either Republicans and Democrats, does he trust anyone? Is there an ounce of trust and good will in this man\u2019s body? Or is he out to wreck the government, tear it down, rebuild it into something else \u2013 perhaps in his own image?<\/p>\n

This guy is getting weirder by the day \u2026 and that\u2019s really saying something because he\u2019s been pretty weird ever since he took office all those many months<\/em> ago.<\/p>\n

Yeah, he\u2019s been in the Senate all of five months and he\u2019s managed to step on just about every set of toes there is. To what end is not yet clear. I know he\u2019s not the first politician to take a public office perhaps with his eyes on a larger prize down the road. This individual\u2019s brass, though, is breathtaking.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s even managed to antagonize the senior statesmen within his own party, such as Sen. John McCain, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee and Vietnam War prisoner. <\/p>\n

Former Sen. Bob Dole, one of his party\u2019s elders, said the other day the Senate is \u201cbadly bent.\u201d Dole would be on the outs with the likes of Cruz, a tea party golden boy. The man, though, knew how to legislate and managed to forge constructive working relationships with senators from the other party, such as his good friend and fellow World War II veteran the late Sen. George McGovern.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying to imagine Ted Cruz forming that kind of bond with someone on the other side. That image just refuses to take shape in my mind\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n\n
