let’s continue the misery, shall we?

[JRandomFreeper]

Nope, Cruz didn't make them miserable. They made themselves miserable because they have no conservative principles.

He just turned a light in their direction.

Good!

Very enjoyable.
I can just picture these RINO’s staring at each other wondering who
was going to be the sucker to provide that 60th vote for 45 minutes.
It sounds like pure panic broke out because of I brave man, Mr. Cruz.

Ted Cruz is the only guy in Washington that has a spine of steel. The rest have taken a liking to the Kool Aid.

In this story, the people who REALLY piss me off are: the followers. Why would a bunch of other Republicans want to “rush in” and vote with the leaders? After the fact??

suck ups... that’s why.

McConnell and Cornyn deserve to pay the price for not representing their constituents. But, at least... they had the BALLS to step up and vote.

[SomeCallMeTim]

And... GOD BLESS Ted Cruz.

Sunlight is GOOD. Make the bastards vote. How else can we know who they REALLY are?

[Gene Eric]

It would be good to know which RINOs have serious primary competition? Please post if you know.

The writer fails to acknowledge what really happened here.

In the end, ten Republican Senators followed McConnell and Cornyn over the brink. However, thirty Republican Senators stood with Ted Cruz.

And, indeed, almost all of the ten would've preferred to stay on Cruz' side of the line, but had to be cajoled into following their "leaders".

It has become apparent that the GOP House leadership is living on borrowed time. Now, evidently, the same is true for the GOP Senate leadership.

In FACT, Cornyn pulled the pin of the grenade and then put it grenade in his pocket, like a total dumbass.

He and McConnell have done this to themselves.

Ted Cruz was just there to accept the pin.

The press does not appreciate how much the tea party vs establishment is a generational conflict. The establishment will lose eventually, no matter how much the press cheers them on to crush the tea party.

[skinkinthegrass]

well.. boohoo!

[FreeAtlanta]

Anyone voting to extend the debt limit without voting to slash the budget is a Treasonous Snake and not worthy of their office.

“Ted Cruz Just Made Life Miserable for Republican Leaders Once Again”

I’m liking him better all the time.

[VRWC For Truth]

Cruz makes the Potomac cockroaches dance.
