Megyn Kelly To Ted Cruz: ‘What Have You Actually Accomplished?’



Megyn Kelly To Cruz: You Can't Just Be Someone 'Who Stops Things'

Fox News host Megyn Kelly on Tuesday night grilled Sen. Ted Cruz (R) on his record in the Senate now that he has officially launched his presidential campaign.

"On your time in the Senate — this is what some of your critics point to — they say, yes you led the fight on certain issues, but what have you actually accomplished?" Kelly asked Cruz on "The Kelly File."

"What we’ve accomplished over and over again, in many instances, is stopping bad things from happening," Cruz responded.

Cruz said that he helped stop gun control legislation from passing in the Senate following the Newtown shooting.

Her niche within Wingnut World is to lob an occasional gotcha at some stray wingnut, which some gullible media types think makes her actually fair-und-balanced.

how Foxnews treats them. I would say Cruz is not well liked by his own party. Hopefully there will be a civil war between the somewhat crazy RWingers and the completely insane RWingers.

I still think Rand Paul is the one to worry about. Cruz went out of the gates first to be the most extreme case. Everyone else won't be "as bad".

I expect all media sources to tear into Cruz. When you see the usual divisions in who attacks whom and who they defend then we will know who has the backing.

the same issue because all they have done is to be obstructionists. That's one of Cruz' main weaknesses.
