McCain can’t take Ted Cruz to the woodshed. McCain is washed up, done.

Cruz could take McCain to the dung heap. That is where this old traitor belongs.

I wonder if anyone else sees the scene behind the scene here.

I’m thinking McCain and probably Harry Reid were watching Cruz together in some room off the Senate floor rather than on the floor itself. For sure, fellow Senators were watching long before they came in prior to the opening of the session.

So what does Harry Reid say to Cruz? “Give John McCain 15 minutes.”

In other words, they were going to try and upstage and undo what Cruz had done for 21 hours. Cruz sensed this and did not allow McCain respectfully to speak.

The second thing that bothers me, is that McCain could have spoken to Cruz privately, instead he chose to take this to all places, the media. ONce again to undermine the man’s brilliant speech.

I listened to most of what Cruz said the night before and early into the night. He used many many many allegories. I didn’t hear the one about Chamberlain. Personally it’s over used, but I think for me it denotes a person being blind to reality, or a person in denial. In this case I guess Cruz was referring to the loss of the American DReam, or Obamacare or something and equating it with Nazism. I don’t think he was referring to Obama. I don’t know, maybe someone can tell us what he actually said.

But I DID HEAR Ted Cruz in the weee hours of the morning, I’m sure when McCain was deep asleep, speak eloquently about McCain’s commitment and how he endured torture more so than anyone else in the Senate.

Let’s face it friends the media is belittling the man, and making his speech out to be nothing special. This tells me, that this was our first battle. What happens from here out is in the hands of the people.

I will tell you this. Cruz planted the seed so when Obamacare hits home to millions of Americans, they will remember who tried to stand up for them...Ted Cruz. The more the RINOS and others come down on Cruz, the better he looks to the people.
