You are conflating campaign donations with quid pro quo. Show the correlation between the campaign support Cruz got in his Senate campaign and any legislation he sponsored that supports your implication that Cruz "answers to special interest groups."
Look at how Carson a very decent man, has distanced himself from Cruz...why?
Could it possibly have something to do with being offered an advisory position in the trump administration? Isn't that what carson said about why he endorsed trump? There was a whole big thread about it just the other day! Not sure I would call someone who was easily bought a decent man.

How about Cruz telling his precinct captains in Iowa that Carson was out of the race ? Do we have to go over this again or weren't you playing at the time ?
He didn't go after Obama because of the birth certificate and people should know, he did it for attention and to "win" which is pretty apparent in this video. He has never cared about the people, only himself.
A vote is a vote is a vote is a vote. Doesn't matter if it comes from a partisan, a swing voter, an independent or Democrats in recovery. Fascinating that you might think otherwise.
Cruz lost Missouri by just a handful of votes. By your logic, it didn't really matter.
Well Hon,
The issue is not THIS vote, it is going forward. Unless LEFTEE is a MEMBER of the GOP, in that LEFTEE participates in the party by volunteering and being elected to a voting member than a statement like "I'm leaving the GOP" means nothing. Literally, nothing.
If I said I was "leaving the Dem party" it would mean the exact same thing. Nothing. I do not participate in any form or fashion in the Dem party, other than having voted in prior elections for a democrat for president.
For every "vote" that changes party, there is another "vote" coming the other direction.
I am a moderate Republican, I don't really like Cruz but I see him as the lesser of the two evils when compared to Trump. Yeah, we will likely still get walloped even with Cruz but it just wouldent be as bad as it would be with Trump (ie: we might keep control of the House of Representatives with Cruz). In other words it wouldent lead to a total catastrophe downticket.
I just keep think of all of the speeches he'd make if he was President, pausing for effect in every sentence so you can soak up what he said and appreciate the wonder that is him. Shoot me now. I'd rather hear Clinton, bark.
You will get your wish, since Sleazy Don is ensuring that his wedding guest gets the WH!
Well if an article from a pro-GOP site like MJ says so, it's GOTTA be true.
