For sure! Honesty, I think he has a second wind now. His voice doesn’t sound hoarse, at least when reading.

This guy is in shape.

A UNION guy, who supported Obama, is “for” defunding! He tweeted Cruz!

Sweet.

Yes, why is he so alone? Surely some of the other senators could stay up until midnight.

Reminds me of the Hunger Games, when Katniss is trying to impress the game makers with her archery and they only spare her a moment before they get back to drinks, a feast, and schmoozing.

Her life hanging in the balance and they're happily chatting over cocktails. Gosh that sounds familiar.

Oh, my. The picture of Sen. Cruz's little girls watching him on TV as he read them their bedtime stories is so sweet. I know you'll want to see it: Post #2032

Guess I missed the naysayers in the beginning. I have no time or patience for them, ever.

My only trouble with Rand tonight is his lack of hanging out there to give Ted a bit of a break in speaking. Just really surprised at that after what Ted offered Rand during his long filibuster.

Other than that, I know in my heart that millions upon millions are so disgusted with everything having to do with government, anything this brave and courageous man can do to shed light, I herald it.

It’s been a joke on twitter with some of the more unhinged dems, they are so easy to offend ;-)

Ya’ think? I would love it, but win or lose, he is leading, showing us how to lose and get up, to take the barbs, and get up again. Then....we win.

(It may take 18 Rounds.)
