Ted Cruz represents - hopefully! - the future of Our Nation.

Republicans could go back to slamming Democrats over Obamacare.

Except they haven't, they've been slamming the base over amnesty.

So so blind. There is no world outside of the beltway for these people. They will do anything, say anything, think anything to prevent Anthony from sending them to the corn field.

I don’t read the Washington Examiner, but I had thought it was a conservative paper.

Apparently they do not understand the art of negotiation any more that boner does.

Repubs who are angry at Cruz self-identify as exactly the ones we need to send home.

People went out and made signs and asked “What do you need us to do to get you elected?” and the GOP establishment SHAT all over them!

the gambit accomplished nothing for Senate Republicans

Well, duh.

It was precisely launched AT Senate Republicans, to get them to stand up for once.

why is there so much division

Because there is now "two" Republican parties. One is the Democratic party your grandmother belonged to. The other is a Christ based, conservative party that clearly understands the difference between right and wrong.

"Sometimes, come November, the people remember,"

Should be a motto for 2014, Obamacare, national debt, Benghazi, IRS, etc. And the people should hold the entire Democratic party to account, they stood by this dictator-wannabe every step of the way.

Most of the people running the Republican party ran it when they controlled both Houses and the Executive. What did they do with that power? The same things democrats do with it.

The author does not see that this is not a stand alone thing. The republicans ran the table in 2000 and the conservatives got nothing. The republicans are controlling the house and the conservatives are not getting the response they expect. Cruz is demonstrating to the base that the republican leadership is more interested in power than risking their positions to fight. The author does not understand that the republican base sees that the leadership cannot muster any intellectual argument against this regime.. and yet it is child’s play to do so. I could go on and on.

The ruling class doesn’t get it. Ted Cruz appeals to most of us because he seems to be the only one in Washington who is listening to us!!!!

Given that, why is there so much division, backbiting, and bad blood among some Senate Republicans?

The only reasonable explanation is that the GOP leadership has been infiltrated and hijacked by progressives. Why else would they oppose conservatives so vehemently?

Funny... We’re spending ourselves into oblivion and any resistance to that is “fantasy land”... I’d rather be in fantasy land than insanity land.

Last seen during the government shutdown fiasco, the GOP malady returned this week with a debt ceiling mini-fiasco, and it threatens to revisit the Senate any number of times before Election Day.

There is at least one common thread in the shutdown and debt ceiling incidents, and that is Sen. Ted Cruz. For whatever reason, the Texas freshman has at times goaded his party to dysfunction, embarrassment, and defeat. (Not quite singlehandedly; others, like Sens. Mike Lee and Rand Paul, have also been done their bit.)

Nobody wanted to vote to raise the debt limit, but many believed strongly that a losing fight over spending would damage the party.

It's always about the damn party with these hacks, never the country.

I am VERY surprised at how Byron York worded this story. MR. York appears to be a RINO.

I have always enjoyed reading his take on Washington, but this time, after Rush’s Friday comments regarding so called conservative media, I must Re-iterate York is a RINO big G’ment Elitist
