That’s because he’s going to be Trump’s VP.
In before the Rand apologists.
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
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.
Sen. Cruz: The Real Story of What Is Happening in Washington (Sep 28, 2015 59:47)
OR... Mr Cruz Goes To Washington
Ted Cruz couldnt get anyone in the Senate to back him tonight as he tried to get a ban on Planned Parenthood funding and a linkage of the Iran Nuclear deal in a government funding bill. He stood alone on the Senate floor:
Cruzs amendment would place a one-year ban on federal funding for Planned Parenthood. It would also ban the Obama administration from using funds from the short-term bill to implement the Iran nuclear deal or any assessed contributions to the United Nations until lawmakers receive the side deals between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).The side deals have been a key point of contention among opponents of the deal. Cruz and House Republicans have suggested that the 60-day congressional review period for the Iran nuclear deal hasnt started because the administration hasnt given lawmakers the agreements.
After the procedural back-and-forth, Cruz slammed Republican leadership, suggesting they repeatedly surrender to President Obama.
You know, President Obama has negotiated a catastrophic nuclear deal with Iran. Republican leadership goes on television all the time and rightly says this is a catastrophic deal, he added. I would suggest that if we actually believed the words that are coming out of their mouths, then we should be willing to use any and all constitutional authorities.
After this Cruz launched into an hour speech, one that Mark Levin just tweeted out saying its a MUST LISTEN.
That would be so sweet, because then he would be President of the Senate, and his knowledge of the rules and ability to debate would give those idiots fits.
More like Trump's shoe-polisher...
