Whether that's because Cruz really believes those things (making him a moron) or because Cruz only cares about the advancement of Cruz (bingo!) is the question.

Some of the reasons everyone hates Cruz aren't related to policy but process. His willingness to shut the government down, for example, despite the disaster shut downs have been for Republicans in the past, and to hold progress on any issue or appointment hostage, and his constant use of trantrums to stall the process to try to get his way.
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.
