Aww, you poor thing.

Are you okay? Do you need to be comforted?

What a twit!

I’m on this forum every single day you wanker.

This is the first time I’ve read where Cruz actually fully endorsed Trump by name.

None the less, you view this as my problem and not Ted’s problem.

How many people are tuned in like we are? Hardly anyone. This means that hardly anyone actually heard Ted endorse Trump by name.

If I didn’t hear it, it couldn’t have been that loud.

That’s what I’m trying to tell you. Ted Cruz didn’t view this election to be important enough to spend every day shouting his support for Trump from the mountaintops.

I shouldn’t have to have you point an article out for me. I should not have been able to avoid hearing about it.

As for the CNN headline, that is the same source that called Bill Clinton’s blame for others, apologies over and over.

If Democrats refuse to do the will of the American electorate, then the government that America elected has an obligation to implement that will by whatever means necessary.

The Democrat party has shown itself to be totally dishonest and completely untrustworthy in the worst possible way.

To Hell with them.

As far as Cruz goes, I see no need to criticize him on this, I agree with him.

Whether or not the GOP goes nuclear really doesn’t matter, because if the Dems regain power, they most certainly will go nuclear, with regard to this matter, and any other matter, up to and including actual nukes.

They are totally insane.

Now is the time to wreck their f***in’ s***, every last bit of it, into dust, all damn day long.

LOL

So it’s principled to go for months only saying you endorse the guy once or a very few times?

Allowing Hillary Clinton to almost win the presidency without doing everything you can, is principled? Really?

Tell you what, if he called my wife a two-bit hooker, I would have kissed his ass rather than let Hillary Clinton become president.

Principled?

It’s principled to allow your kids to grow up in Hillary’s Amerika?

No wonder you’re lost in space.

Trump will pick up a few Democrat votes from Red States.

What happens if the Democrats can’t maintain a filibuster? Do they then hold a vote, with a simple majority required?

If so, I would force the Democrats into doing a filibuster - make them stand up and talk.

I think we have reached a point where the Democrats will ever again do the moral, right or fair thing. It’s just not in their nature. We should declare the era of filibuster dead and have simple majority pass everything in the Senate.

That’s not just a “convenient” belief. It is one grounded in the idea that the Democrats crossed that rubicon first and will gladly do it again if they ever have the chance so we should not presume they will ever require 60 votes when they are in the majority again so why should we?

What a joke. Don’t use the nuclear option in case democrats get be in? They use it when they are in so I hope the GOP uses it when needed. After all it was the democrats who devised this option.

You can't make this stuff up.

Ted Cruz endorsed Trump two weeks ago — he now says it was the media’s fault

All of the Democratic Senators in red states are, already, in trouble, politically, and any anti-Trump vote, on any issue, could, eventually, put an end to their control of those U.S. Senate seats=GOOD!

More correctly:

50 Republican votes
2 Contrarian votes (McCain, Graham)
46 Democrat votes
2 Socialist votes

Gotta watch out for the other squishy RINOs. How I wish Trump had taken the advice of the strategists who wanted to lure the Democrat North Dakota Senator into the Trump Cabinet, opening up her seat to the Republican governor to fill and giving Trump 53 GOP Senators. It would have cut the monkey business of McCain and Graham by half.

Oh I'm keeping up, but garsh I sure appreciate you looking out for me.

Did you see where Ted blamed the media for playing him so he would endorse Trump?

Ted, gave Trump HIS team, and that made all the difference for Trump?

Why didn't it make all the difference for Ted? LMAO ROTF

Yes, they used it in Nov. 2013 although not for USSC nominees.
They didn’t have to since they had their reliable gop-e cucks.
Cruz is right: use it or lose it.

I agree with that strategically.

Wasn’t there another one in the South? Maybe I’m thinking of Hally and she wouldn’t have worked out that way.

I wasn’t trying to downplay the danger. I figured folks would know McCain Graham were problematic.

If we can limit it to those two pinheads, Pence can save the day.

It seems to me that McCain is feeling some heat the last week or so. He may moderate in our direction. I sure hope so.

If he does, Graham will. Rubio will be more likely to also.

fight fire with fire. The GOP “taking the high road” got us pushed off the cliff.

The left is the party of scorched earth; there is no reasoning or crossing the aisle. Like a bully, the only thing they understand is to be slapped back.

That would be the ISIS way and I don’t think we’re there yet, even if Madonna is ready for it.
