He has been unique ineffective in all of this - what does he have to show? But it seems to build his popularity nonetheless, at the expense of making it impossible for anyone else to get anything done.

Ted Cruz's biggest problems are that nobody is as smart as him, as principled as him, or in any way is more important than him. He shut the government down because he was right and if the Congress wasn't going to do what he said, he was willing to sacrifice the whole country to get his way.
He'd be worse as President. Imagine 4 years of nothing but vetoes, no matter what party a bill comes from. That's Ted Cruz as President. Imagine Executive Orders to put Muslims in concentration camps a la the Japanese in WWII. That's President Cruz.
