I heard it somewhere yesterday that Republicans were hoping Reid made a rookie mistake and let Obamas nominees wait for the new senate to be seated.

We knew Reid wouldn’t do that so regardless of what Cruz did, Obamas nominees would be seated. Actually, the problem was RINO’s were waiting for Obama to do this under the radar so they had a talking point, which of course wouldn’t have mattered anyway since they shot their load on the budget deal and not only doesn’t anyone trust them, but the MSM would have buried it.

Cruz did the right thing. Now all we need is billboards in all cities where the RINO won saying things like, “Thank you John McCain, Democrat”

Nominees expire at the end of a congress anyway. Obama would have had to renominate them, and they’d have to go through committee again, etc., unless they bypassed that to get them to the floor, which wouldn’t have happened.

So Reid was going to process as many as he could anyway.
