Ted Cruz: "Republican leadership has proven to be the most Democratic leaders we have ever seen."

[MNJohnnie]

Cruz takes some shots at his House and Senate colleges, Trump talks to the American people.

This is what LEADERSHIP looks like.

DONALD J. TRUMP STATEMENT ON BUDGET DEAL

(New York, NY) December 17, 2015 “If anyone needed more evidence of why the American people are suffering at the hands of their own government, look no further than the budget deal announced by Speaker Ryan. In order to avoid a government shutdown, a cowardly threat from an incompetent President, the elected Republicans in Congress threw in the towel and showed absolutely no budget discipline.

The American people will have to absorb higher deficits, greater debt, less economic liberty and more corporate welfare. Congress cannot seem to help itself in bending to every whim of special interests. How can they face their constituents when they continue to burden our children and grandchildren with debts they will never be able to repay? Our government is failing us, so we must do something about it. Who knows how bad things will be when the next administration comes in and has to pick up the pieces?

The only special interest not being served by our government is the American people. It is time we imposed budget discipline by holding the line on spending, getting rid of waste, fraud and abuse, and by taking on our debt. To do these things, we need a President who can lead the fight to hold Congress and the rest of government accountable. Together, we can Make America Great Again.

Yes!!!! Good job, Mr. Cruz.

Looks like McCain is taking his new primary opponent rather seriously...trying to play conservative again.

[11th Commandment]

The Maverick - John McCain - you know the mavery Maverick who suspended this 2008 presidential campaign to rush to Washington DC to be a Maverick and tell all the Republicans to vote for the bailout! ... That Maverick!!!

He is even against the budget along with Cruz. I guest that makes Cruz the Maverick we all were supposed to admire in 2008. I guess Maverick is in vogue again in the GOP!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Trump and Cruz the only guys showing any principled leadership at all out there.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The RINOs in Congress won’t even remove the funding for the baby-murdering Planned Parenthood. They continue to fund it year after year while giving lip service to the pro-life people.

[SharpRightTurn]

“John McCain (Ariz.) [has] also publicly said [he] will vote against the legislation”

Anyone who accuses McCainiac of voting against this turkey just because he’s up for reelection next year is just being cynical. Just like they were being cynical for lambasting him 6 years ago when he said “why don’t we just build the danged fence?” These conservative stances just prior to reelections are just coincidental.

It's sickening that more Republicans aren't willing to stand up. They have a majority in the House and Senate and they're still not willing to take a stand for the principles they're supposed to hold.
