Ted Cruz is a massive neocon, and certainly no populist.
President Biden has repeatedly, systematically undermined our Ukrainian allies in the face of Russian aggression to placate Putin.
Well, our Ukrainian allies have told us again and again what we can do and what we should do. All we have to do in the Senate is listen to our friends in Ukraine who are on the front line. Number one, sanction Nord Stream 2 immediately, right now today. And number two, give the Ukrainians weapons so that they can defend themselves.

Cruz calling the election rigged on Jan 6, objecting to certifying the electoral votes
You can pick individual data points against anybody, but on balance he's the best we've got that has any chance of winning.
I disagree on how much appeal Cruz has. I'm not at all sure that he does better than a Josh Hawley, Mike Lee or a Rand Paul for that matter.
Cruz beat out Rand 7,822,100 to 66,788 (117 to 1) in the primary.
Hillary knifed Claire McCaskill in the back so Josh Hawley had an easy opponent, and he's a political baby.
Mike Lee is mormon which won't play well outside of UT.
He was the anti-Trump candidate, not Rand, so it's not really a fair comparison.
Josh Hawley is very boring. Same as Ron DeSantis. That is a major problem.
