My question is why was it only Teddy?

Strategy. The GOP had advance warning or suspected Schumer would pull this so they had a Senator remaining to quash the Unanimous Consent vote. For optics, Cruz was the best option.

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.

Exactly! Where were the rest of the “stalwart” Republicans?

Everyone else were too tired by then to focus on this foul, sneaky deception.

As the adage goes: THE PRICE OF LIBERTY IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE.

They only needed one I guess.

Because he is the only one with cajoles enough to go against these radicals.

Cruz for Texas President!!
