Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . 
In the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . 
Is it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? 
Or do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? 
Cruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . 
Lee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . 
In his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him "more courageously or indispensably" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . 
When Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . 
Cruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . 
Cruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . 
Essentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . 
Lee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . 
Lee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . 
The bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . 
Today , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . 
And while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . 
Another telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . 
As McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . 
To Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . 
Cruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . 
At a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . 
When he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . 
In my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . 
As Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : "You just do n't do that . 
Another criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . 
Cruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . 
In Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . 
But a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . 
But the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . 
You can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . 
But what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? 
The Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . 
Carpenter said Cruz had sent a message . 
Cruz has shown that one person can make a difference ." 
But as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .

The heir to Saudi Arabiaâs throne has accused  Iran  of âdirect military aggressionâ which could be an âact of war â after Saudi air defense forces intercepted a ballistic missile on Saturday fired toward the capital  Riyadh  from across the border in Yemen.
Yemen has been embroiled in a civil war since 2015 between a Saudi-led military coalition in support of the Yemeni government  and Houthi rebels believed to be funded by  Iran .
âThe involvement of  Iran  in supplying missiles to the Houthis is a direct military aggression by the Iranian regime â the Saudi news agency SPA reported  Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman  as saying on Monday  âand may be considered an act of war against the Kingdom.â The language closely matched a statement earlier given by the Saudi-led coalition.
 Iran  immediately denied  it  was behind the missile launch.
The head of the Saudi military coalition said that experts in military technology had examined other missiles and âconfirmed the role of  Iran âs regime in manufacturing these missiles and smuggling them to the Houthi militias in Yemen for the purpose of attacking the Kingdom  its people  and vital interests.â
 The crown princeâs  reported remarks mark a new height in tensions between  Iran  and Saudi Arabia  the regionâs rival powers. The civil war in Yemen is widely seen to be a proxy war between the two countries  and has resulted in the deaths of over 10 000 civilians and triggered a humanitarian disaster including a cholera outbreak which has infected nearly a million people.

The woman reportedly told police that  Russell L. Burd  45   knocked on her door around 4 a.m.  saying  he  needed to talk. When she opened the door  she said  Burd  appeared drunk and upset.
She said he then got on top of her and handcuffed her. During the attack  she alleged  Burd  told her more than once to  âpretend to enjoy this or I will kill you in front of your son.â
After it was over   Burd  reportedly asked the woman wait a bit âbefore you contact the cops so I can down a couple beers before I go to jail.â He also reportedly said to âtell the cops to watch out for my motherâs ashes.â
Police later arrested  Burd  and said  he  did not cooperate with authorities  according to the documents.
 Burd  was charged with first degree rape  first degree sexual abuse  second degree burglary and third degree kidnapping  Fox4KC reported.  He  is being held in jail on a $100 000 bond.
