Cruz wouldn't have started the Trade/Tariff Wars. Cruz would not be funding pp and signing $1.2T yearly budgets. I think, too, he would have got further along on Immigration Control. He also wouldn't have the distractions of Stormy/Avanetti and McDougal in spite of what Pecker could publish. Heidi didn't do 'soft p0rn' either.
Sure most is speculation on both of our parts BUT you did ask.
He has voted for funding PP two times over the last two years OR so including the budget with that aid over Hurricane Harvey (understandable) along with the last budget to keep the government open until December.
Anyway, I can think of another thing he would not have done, as a Senator in his fourth year, won the general election.
You veto the Budget, you shut down the government, his most recent budget vote, shows he wasn't keen to do that even.
Yes, the financial policy of the nation may well finally be looked at.
