Ted Cruz's moment in the spotlight

Ted Cruz has taken the debate over Obamacare and a government shutdown and turned the spotlight on himself. Whether you love his "fight for freedom" or denounce his "political stunt," chances are you're talking about the freshman senator from Texas who is only nine months into his first term.

CNN's Jessica Yellin takes a look at the career of Sen. Cruz and his meteoric rise within the GOP and Washington.

    Were not talking about him at all and wish you never brought this twisted drone up.

    He has passed Rand Paul for the BIGGEST clown in Washington D.C.! What a FOOL~ most of this country, and everyone that I've spoken to, believes that he should leave office! Our country would be better off WITHOUT him and Rand Paul..
