Just like Dad, isn't he?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That’s because he’s going to be Trump’s VP.

[Eddie01]

You ain’t got nothin’ when you got nothin’ to lose.

[FreeReign]

In before the Rand apologists.

[rwh]

I can’t wait to vote for Cruz in the Primaries. It will be the proudest vote in my life. He stands and speaks the truth while all Washington is against him.

[skeeter]

Boy, Cruz sure is flushing the putzes out of the tall grass.

[BigEdLB]

Hope Abbott appoints a good replacement when Cruz becomes VP. LOL. The VP presides over the senate. They all have to LOOK UP to Cruz. LOL

[ConservativeDude]

what a pity.

I guess Cruz just has to become Prez then.....

Ted Cruz in January 2016: “All your Senate are belong to us...”

[demshateGod]

Well, well, well. Now there is no doubt who Randy is. When we take back the country, you can eat the crap sandwich you intended for us.

[mtrott]

Ah, so Paul is the next cog in the wheel of the campaign to try to take Cruz out. Don’t think this is going to have any effect on Cruz’ numbers.

[ConservativeDude]

It would be sweet if VP Cruz just decided to go ahead and PRESIDE over the Senate like ALL OF THE TIME and use teh power of the presiding officer’s gavel to set the agenda.

I doubt if that is actually doable under the rules...but it is fun to think about!

In any event, him just showing up a LOT would be funny.

[Jane Long]

I vote GOHMERT for Senate!!

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Wow. This guy is very bitter.

[Jane Long]

Pander’s parting shot?

[tinyowl]

Rand is jumping the shark, I can't take him seriously any more .... Yes many of his views are correct, but he sounds like a wind up toy robot made in the image of his father ... just spouting pre-recorded stuff - like a brand rather than a thinking man.

Has anyone read A Prayer for Owen Meany? He sounds like Owen, but a robot Owen with 20 prerecorded messages.

[VTenigma]

Ted Cruz, “Rand Paul pretty much done for in the presidential race”. Fixed.

[Norm Lenhart]

So make the Rules Obamastyle. Fair is fair. We get to do it for 8 years now.

[demshateGod]

Great point! And it illustrates what I thought when listening to the speech. “There is no going back now because the illusion is gone. Everyone will have to choose sides.” There has been a lot of crap talkers in the house and senate, but nothing they ever did mattered. This speech matters. It truly is historic. God please protect Senator Cruz.

[Timber Rattler]

Didn’t take Rand long to stab his former ally Cruz in the back.
