“Mitch pushed back. He said, ‘I agree with where you want to go, but we have a math problem,’” one source said.

It was the first time in a while that Cruz second-guessed McConnell’s leadership in front of the entire GOP conference, although colleagues said he did it respectfully.

“We need to keep going,” he said. “We need to finish the job at ObamaCare. We need to keep simplifying the tax code and lowering taxes. We need to keep lifting regulation so we see more jobs at higher wages for working men and women.”

It’s possible Cruz’s efforts to tout an ambitious 2018 agenda is intended to spur on conservatives he’ll need to come to the polls this fall.

McConell: Sorry, Ted, we can't do any of that. We only have the House, the Senate and the Presidency.

“Leader McConnell is not supportive enough of President Trump.”

Said no Senator ever.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who has been more of a team player since losing the 2016 GOP presidential primary to Donald Trump,...

LMAO

Ted is headed into another election this fall. He’s a team player when it’s HIS team.

I believe the best possible solution is for the two of them to fight it out physically.

With flamethrowers and grenades.

In a hermetically sealed nine foot by nine foot bunker.

At the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

Not much mystery as to McConnell’s strategery.

Most of it is well documented in the democrat’s and Never-Trumper’s playbooks.

Cruz needs to do something hard and ask McConnell about the 20 ships the Chou family bought, while Elaine is Transportation Secretary.

We already heard that Chou’s father bequeathed the McConnells’ with 25 million dollars early this year.

What is going on with them, the Chou Family Machine and the Chinese wind fall?

Cruz has McConnell’s number, and so do we.

He isn’t spineless. He is tough and wily. He doesn’t work for us, its important to note. He has another master.

Isn’t Ted Cruz satan incarnate, spawn of some uncle/grandpa Munster, a fake American, married to a financial insider/globalist, a never-Trumper whose kids and wife despise him?

Free Republic is absolutely no place to publish anything that could possibly be construed as supportive of Ted “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz.

The Cruznadian is persona non-grata on FR.

Right?

Go Ted! He’s right about Ditch. Ditch completely lacks principles and backbone.
