I listened to Will and Krauthammer attack Cruz last evening. They attacked what they considered an unimportant point, and they attacked him over allowing Obama nominees to get votes, and they attacked him because he’s committed.

First, the constitutional issue is the issue. That was Cruz’s focus. One can only suppose that George and Charles haven’t read it lately.

Second, Obama’s nominees, according to this CHQ article were going to be handled anyway...and there’s been no noticeable GOP opposition since Reid exercised the nuclear option. Ooops...forgot...the GOP-E is already talkinga about bringing back the 60 vote requirement on nominees during their tenure in charge of the Senate. (Total abject capitulation to often is called SYSTEMATIC BETRAYAL.)

Third, is Cruz committed? Actually, I find that refreshing.

Democrats absolutely go crazy in hate hearing his name.
All of the top leaders in the Republican Party hate him too.

When in your lifetime have you ever heard a better endorsement?

When the incoming flack gets thick, you know for certain you’re right on target.

The GOPe is every bit as dissembling and dishonest as the democrat party.

(from the article):"And back on December 13 Reid’s spokesman Adam Jentleson tweeted that
“Sen. McConnell has known for weeks if not months that Sen. Reid planned to move forward on these noms.
Maybe he failed to inform his caucus.”

That must have been an (intentional) oversight by leadership (?)
It could have just slipped his memory since it is so inconsequential . ..../s

they have in effect endorsed the constitutionality of Obama’s planned executive amnesty.

Perhaps they have endorsed the executive amnesty, but the constitutionality can only be endorsed by the Supreme Court.

Overall, I say the media are the worst purveyors 1) On the other side, all of MCNBC and on our side 2) Jennifer Rubin of the ComPost. Cruz lives rent free in their heads.
