I would guess that there are only 10 Senators not completely under the McConnell/Reid thumb.

I really don’t know what to make of the whole thing.

McConnell and company seem like they are incompetent in advancing the agenda they were elected to pursue.

On the other hand, Cruz does seem like a bull in a china shop. Given the circumstances, that may be warranted. But ultimately you can’t do jack squat if you burn all your bridges. Cruz may be smart and good at grandstanding, but it’s not clear he knows how to actually get thing done.
