Recent polls show the duo eclipsing veteran politicians like former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Ohio Governor John Kasich by double digits. Other contenders, including some who currently serve in Washington, have taken notice and made railing on Republican leaders a cornerstone of their campaigns.
For months, Trump has been calling Americas leadership stupid, incompetent, and that theyre ripping off Americans. His rants may be wearing thin by now, but the message stuck.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in particular has made a habit of bashing what he calls the Washington cartel that stifles conservatives and used the debate podium, and the Senate floor, to go after McConnell. His steadily rising poll numbers suggest the strategy is paying off.
Cruz stuck to his script during Tuesday nights GOP debate, repeatedly bashing the capitals crony culture.
