I understand that he was promised that the Import-Export Bank was going to be allowed to die, but he was very naïve to trust the GOP Leadership.

With all due respect, you too are an "idiot" ...

Have you ever been in a situtation where a "leader" (political, religious or business) would DARE stand-up in front of 54 of his/her colleagues ...

and declare an outright "lie" ... and then repeat it two more times just for effect ?



Ted Cruz (and most other people) knew that Mitch McConnell was a snake, but NOT BRAZEN enough to lie "publicly" in front of 54 people.

I would have been fooled as well, and at sixty (60) that doesn't happen much anyome (at least as far as politics).



What Ted Cruz did today was akin to William Wallace in "Braveheart".

Unless Mitch McOnnell dies in office, Senator Ted Cruz will be ETERNALLY SCREWED by Mitch McConnell.

Ted Cruz sacrificed his "senate career" to tell the UGLY and NAKED truth ...

and you're a "fool of a took" to be throwing rocks at him ...



I guess, that for you, things must be going pretty badly in your Rand Paul/Lindsey Graham/John Kasisch/Mike Huckabee campaign ...

McConnell looked into the eyes of Ted Cruz and the rest of the Republican senators and told them that there was no deal, there was no deal, there was no deal. Ted Cruz is gentleman enough to take McConnell as his word.

If Senator Cruz knew he was going to lose the fight on the loans, then the brilliant strategy is to take McTurtles word and then have the issue to weaken him for the next fight. It is called a phyrric victory, and winning this fight will cost McTurtle plenty.
