No wonder the Republic is in 'intensive care'; going down the tubes.

Chuck Schumer brought HR1 – SR 1 to the floor around 3:30 a.m. after the Senate had concluded 15 hours of amendment votes on a $3.5 trillion budget resolution. In the dead of night, Schumer sought to pass the federal overhaul of elections by unanimous consent, according to the Houston Chronicle. Only one objection by a senator was required to stop the process. In a roughly 15-minute back-and-forth, Cruz tanked Schumer’s attempt to force the election bill through the Senate.

Trying to sneak this thorough at 3:30 AM. Thank you Senator Cruz.
Amen!
It’s fabulous that Cruz did that.
But America already died. 20 January 2021 when a thief and an imposter was handed the keys to the nuclear arsenal.
I’m glad Cruz objected, but where was Mitch, to set a example?
Trying to find his backbone. He can’t remember where he put it, it was so long ago that he last wore it.
Cruz has been lambasted unjustifiably and mercilessly because he has the gall to run against Trump. Even on this site.
I’ve always been a supporter and continue to believe he will be exonerated of all epithets in the long term.
My question is why was it only Teddy?
It ain’t over till it’s over.
OMG! Is that for real?
Mitch was looking for his balls and his marbles. Both are permanently lost though. He will never find them.
Thank you Ted.
I love his podcast, Verdict.
Schumer knew why Cruz was present and knew full well he would vote no, killing HR1. Cruz voting “no” and Schumer lambasting Cruz was all political theater. Have no doubt if Schumer could have pulled it off he would have.
Now the GOP can puff out their chests and act like David slaying Goliath. The RATS can tell their constituents “hey we tried, but for that bastard Cruz…”. The three branches of government are different rings in a three ring circus, putting on the Greatest Show on Earth for us rubes.
It is all kabuki theater so our masters can keep us quiet.
Thank you Ted Cruz.
“This bill would constitute a federal government takeover of elections. It would constitute a massive power grab by Democrats. It would disenfranchise millions of Americans and it would do precisely the opposite of its nominal title, ‘For The People.’ It is, instead, for the politicians because it entrenches politicians and ensures that the people cannot vote them out of office. It would strike down virtually every reasonable voter integrity law in the country, including voter I.D. laws supported by the overwhelming majority of this country, including prohibitions on ballot harvesting, again widely supported by people in this country. It would mandate that felons be allowed to vote, and it would automatically register millions of illegal aliens to vote. It would profoundly undermine democracy in this country, and for that reason I object.”
Those RCV provisions are in HR1 for a reason.
That said, a number of states have passed RCV.
And far more have RCV-enabmed voting machines.
What has Cruz done about THAT.
They keep doing it until it passes.
