You know what's also excellent about this...

The ONLY sign that the Good Senator has been up all night is his tie is a little loosened.

Haha!! Outstanding, Epic... and not a hair outta place!!!

Senator Cruz is 30 feet tall today... and those on "our" side who weren't there, standing with him... well, they're noticeably ... smaller.... today.

Senator Mike Lee, also... thanks for being there.

If these were Dems this day would be talked about for DECADES.

Either way still a great day and lesson on the constitution.

THANK YOU Senator Cruz.

Reid and McCain are the Duke and Duke (Movie-Trading Places) of the US Senate. They think they own the place.

I have been around McCain several times. He is a nutcase. He lives in his own little world in his head.

Nah...having said he will abide by the rules of the Senate, he will only hurt our case by refusing to give up the floor.

Yeah, his office was nice when I told them why I left the Republican Party. Actually, when I gave her my reason, she sort of sounded shocked. But I called the Olathe office here in Kansas where folks are still approximately 98% conservative.

I guess my point is that I don’t think Moran thought this attack on Cruz, and the elites pulling the supposed wool over our eyes, would cost them party members. Which is what I wanted to convey using brevity as the soul of wit, so to speak.

Reid made a tactical error. He should have had McCain ask for the time. I’m sure Cruz would have handled it well, but it would have been a better move for Reid. He’s not used to being challenged.

McCain may not be up yet.

He probably spends his spare time with his children rather than on the golf course. I enjoyed the reading.

Yes, he’s asking that McCain be allowed to come in and be yielded to, so as to wrap this up.

Unph*ckin*believeable....

If Reid wants a fast process, he should vote on the bill sent by the House without amendment.
