Cruz won’t work with others

I remember back some years when most of our congressmen were veterans. They understood sacrifice and working together for a common cause. After elections they acted on legislation for the good of all, regardless of the party that put them in office.

Ted Cruz calls that “cutting deals” and is unwilling to compromise on his positions, not understanding that you have to give a little to get a little to get any legislation passed. I cannot imagine Cruz as president accomplishing anything with that attitude.

We have had eight years of gridlock. We do not need four more. Trump, Kasich and Bush understand how to work with others. Just maybe one of them can solve some of our enormous problems.
