This lib has brought up an excellent idea.
The Constitution does not prevent a sitting US senator from becoming Speaker.
Imagine a world in which Ted runs the House as well as remaining in the Senate.....

I’m sure Hitler was furious when “Normandy Beach Master” Eisenhower arrived as well.

““It was Senator Cruz calling the shots, and that’s why people around here are calling him ‘Speaker Cruz’ today.” He added, “It means when Speaker Boehner says he’s going to get something done from now on, he’d better be checking with Senator Cruz to see if he’s gonna get the votes”
Sounds like the best plan I’ve heard in a long time!
To: bestintxas
It’s called leadership. If Boehner won’t do it, then Ted Cruz will.

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) blasted Republican leadership for letting “Speaker Cruz” "call the shots," Funny thing Chris, the Press must have forgot to quote your anger at Chuckles (The Clown) Schumer when he preaches to the house about Legislation he wants them to pass? Whiney little bitch, take a Midol!

I remember in 1982 when then Senator Alan Simpson, “R”-WY chastising Senator Helms in the same way as was done here to Cruz. Helms had fought against some liberal agenda item, which I can’t recall, that prolonged a special session when it was time for the Christmas break. Simpson began calling Jesse “Grinch”.

Someone tell the GOPe that if your political enemies hate what you’re doing it’s probably the right thing. If your political enemies love what you’re doing they are probably not your political enemies and your base will reject you.
