Not good move by Cruz, starting a battle he could not win that ends disastrously. One thing to make it close, but entirely different when he is so out of touch with senate colleagues that practically none stand with him. A lonely and shrill voice with no results. You sound....concerned.

I cant believe you are this ill-informed. Cruz was unmasking the criminals. Gee, buy a clue! So, hes supposed to go along with the crowd ruining our country, just to go along to get along? I dont think so.
Just ignore Reno89519. He's a Cruz hating troll who never fails to post the most negative, fact-absent posts in an attempt to smear Ted Cruz.
Don't believe me, click on his name and read his posting history.

Conservatives are no longer welcome in the Republican Party. The Stupid Party has made sure even a terrible candidate like Hillary will be able to win, and they can continue playing political games and destroying the nation in a bipartisan manner.
To: VinL
The feckless Republicans:
2008-2010
They said they couldnt do anything because they didnt have the Presidency, House or Senate.
2010-2014
Then they said they couldnt do anything because Harry Reid was blocking everything in the Senate.
2014-2016
Then they said they couldnt do anything until the 2016 elections because Obama would veto.
2016-2018
Now they are saying they wont be able to do anything even with a Republican President because too many Senate seats are up for grabs in 2018.
They promised us they would defund Obamacare. All talk, no action. They said they would reduce regulations on small businesses. All talk, more speeches, no action.
Republicans control purse strings for 5 years through control of the House. What have they done? All talk, no action!

I don’t think Cruz or this country stand to gain anything by getting along with leadership.
Time for a third party IMHO.

Some folks have apparently bought into the idea that we elect people to go to Washington to get along with their colleagues and toe the party line.

God and Cruz are a majority. The destruction of the ungodly is a fearsome thing, and it is inevitable.

A great Bible lesson for those who think just because the entire Senate turns against you means you are a loser. The story of Joshua and Caleb comes to mind. They were the only 2 who took on the big boys - and they WON!

Ok by me. If tools like McConnell, Cornyn and Alexander disagree with him then he’s even more the guy I want in the WH.
Cruz it or lose it.
To: entropy12
That is extremely nicely stated, FRiend.
To: Eddie01
The lecturers failed to address the point that Cruz was right and that McConnell lied to every single one of them. I guess they are ok with McConnell lying to them. What a bunch of children. I’m ready for a 3rd party. The current republicans are all big Obama supporters. Judge by their actions, not their lying words.

To: SoConPubbie
If nothing else, talk radio will be all over this on Monday and Cruz will be massively supported by the grass roots base. The ones lecturing him will look like utter fools by the end of the day. Cockroaches don’t like it when the light is shined on them. I plan on calling my Senator Cornyn tomorrow to let them know how I feel.
To: txrefugee
McConnell and the rest of the GOPe would prefer President Hillary to President Ted.

The GOP is rotten to the core. It cannot be reformed or resuscitated. It needs to be put out of our misery.
For the Republic to survive, the GOP must die.
