Paul joined Cruz earlier.

Now Durbin is trying to shoot Cruz down.

After being in DC a long time, they forget about their states!

Term limits...except for Ted Cruz. LOL!


Heck, I think they forget about their States before the plane leaves the airport!

I’ d love to see Ted Cruz rise among the ranks. And what is this about calling him a “junior” Senator and being all mad because he’s stepping out of line? Doesn’t the establishment know they are towing the line for a JUNIOR Senator POSING as CIC?

What a bunch of ( expletive deleted to prevent my banishment).

Mouthy is good. I LIKE mouthy!

It’s EXACTLY what we need right now.

That’s what Ted is doing... with politesse. Much more than I ever could; Hell, I’d be emulating the Senator from back right before the Civil War, smacking the other senator over the head with a cane by now...

Oh, the imagery....

Not sure, he has definitely been listed on this thread as one of the few Republicans who has given his support to Cruz. I think maybe he has decided to alternate and let someone else do the filibustering for the moment. As far as filibustering goes, he has definitely led the way with his filibuster over Obama’s drone strikes. I do think he has shown other Republicans they don’t have to fold like an accordion every time they run into legislation they have issues with.

Cruz is a mental giant...more so when standing near Dicky Turbin.
