Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) tore into Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Tuesday called Cruz ineffective legislator

In my humble estimation, Senator Ted Cruz has been an awful Senator from the outset, and has cost this country billions of dollars because of his government shutdown over Obamacare. He repeatedly makes stuff up when he does his attack dance at progressive policies and the like, but that's not what has him in hot water with his brethren. What has he done to anger his peers, you say?

He's broken senatorial protocol and acted like a jerk to fellow politicians. He can cost the government 24 billion dollars and that's OK, but how dare he be rude?

TPM:

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) tore into Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Tuesday during an interview on Brian Kilmeade's Fox News radio show, arguing that Cruz's attacks on his colleagues make him an ineffective legislator.

I will never understand the "Texas exceptionalism" I hear so often here (I live in Texas).

I can understand horrible representation voted by district, but when a whole state votes for the likes of Ted Cruz, Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton, etc, etc.

I'm sorry Molly Ivins is no longer here to tell the truth.
