100% agree.
Now we have Freepers going Peter King on the most conservative guy in the whole damn senate. Nice circular firing squad guys.
All he could have done would be delay it. This fight was dead the moment the RINOS refused to back Cruz’ plan.
A disgrace that people would try to throw this guy under the bus. If this is the thanks he gets, its no wonder nobody ever puts their neck on the line.

Patience with the good Senator Cruz.
Anyway, if he IS running for Prez, it’s not for the perks.

House passed that bill a couple of Saturdays ago.
And what do we get out of this surrender deal?
A big screwing?
