Correct. The author is incorrect if he thinks Cruz and Lee ever took that bunch seriously. But, they have to “wave the dead chicken,” as it were, to prove to people watching the GOPe leaders are not serious about shrinking Big Government. Sometimes we have a good reason to follow what seems to be a futile course, not related to reaching the goal.
I agree.
it was a first battle in getting the republicans out of the way in order to get our country back.
It went very well.
I picture Cornyn pacing around his ranch, perhaps a drink in hand, his wife out and about, a few unwanted phone calls, muttering to himself.
McConnell is the same, delayed by about a month.
Boehner is delaying obamacare for long enough to ensure it doesn’t effect the 2014 elections.
All slowly realizing that the massive amounts of people very badly affected by obamacare are done with these golfers. And now they know whom to turn to.
Their party is over.
Cruz hasn’t miscalculated anything, including that he is a freshman senator who just took de facto charge.
