re: Thomas Sowell is no fan of Ted Cruz

I thought the thread was about Cruz, not Obama. Sowell is accusing Cruz of serving his own interests more than his party.

Cruz wasn't elected to serve the interests of his party. He was elected to serve the interests of his constituents.

Now can we argue if he is serving himself over his constituency? Sure. But thus far his constituency (and a lot of people who aren't his constituents) seem pretty pleased with what he is doing.

The idea that you are elected to serve your party is a large part of what drives the high levels of partisanship in DC.
