“I’ve never been into politics, but he will be my commander in chief and my job is not to see him in political terms, but rather to follow his orders and protect the constitution.”

Cynicism

I doubt Senator Cruz believes all of his own propaganda. I watched him tell tea partiers that the President's Gun Safety bill was a "done deal" but for his filibuster.

On the other hand, during debate he did smugly challenge Senator Feinstein to name the titles of books that could be banned consistent with the First Amendment. She could have replied that WMD has the same relationship to the Second Amendment that child pornography has to the First.
