Nutjob!

Cruz was repeatedly interrupted by activists who heckled him, asking why the Texas Republican would not support immigration reform that included a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living in the U.S. without documentation. At each turn, Cruz suggested that the hecklers were planted at the orders of Obama.

Cruz played up the notion that the White House feared his influence, especially as he plans to join fellow Senate Republicans for a meeting with Obama on Friday at the White House.

"After leaving here, I'm going to be going to the White House. I will make a request -- if I'm never seen again, please send a search and rescue team," Cruz said, joking that he might mysteriously wake up in Syria.

Cruz has been a focal point in the current fiscal standoff after leading the charge among Republicans to shut down the government and challenge the nation’s debt limit unless Democrats agree to defund all or parts of the health care law that began implementation on October 1st.

The leader of a 21-hour filibuster against Obamacare that helped contribute to the ongoing government shutdown, Cruz suggested that Democrats "are feeling the heat" right now, though he note that "none of us knows what's going to happen in this Obamacare fight right now."

Still, many of the first-term senator's claims are contradicted by findings in the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Cruz's own negative ratings (28 percent of Americans view him negatively) exceed his positive ratings (14 percent). Cruz even suffers from upside-down impressions among non-Tea Party Republicans.
