Amazingly, he and Cornyn voted alike on all but two issues. I think that's a first! One has to wonder, is he working with Cornyn now because he needs his support in the presidential bid?

Probably the opposite.....Cornyn knows that Cruz is showing him to be the Rockefeller Republican that he is. Cornyn needs some conservative cred before people start noticing....

Not getting where you're getting that. Cornyn has been historically been one of the most conservative members in Congress based on his votes. if you're No True Scotsmanning him then thats a problem.

Overall, Senator John Cornyn has a moderate record when it comes to immigration reform.

Washington (CNN)—Republicans will still try to block President Barack Obama from implementing his immigration overhaul -- but they won't risk funding for the Department of Homeland Security to do it, Sen. John Cornyn says.

The top two Republicans in the Senate made clear Monday they will not join Cruz's call for a filibuster of a government funding bill that cleared the House last week. Their decisions signaled that the fiery freshman's plan isn't good politics even for Republicans facing conservative primary threats and reinforced a widely held view that it won't work in practice.

Need more?....

They said that about Reagan, too.

I think this is predicated on the notion that America wants a "moderate" for President, a notion that the LSM propagates every four years, because they know moderate Republicans (usually) get trounced. Unfortunately, pundits and "party leaders" usually buy into it, which gives it a sense of undeserved legitimacy.
