If some (i.e. Harry Reid) in the Senate seek unanimous consent to go straight to a vote on Cronybus, but Cruz (and others who may wish to join him) delay this move by forcing Reid to hold a cloture vote - and thus stall the vote in the Senate on Cronybus by 30 hours - would you support this if it led to a short-term funding measure?
While this move may upset Boehner, who has now bent his will to Obama's desire, would you support Cruz (or whomever may wish to do this - Warren?) doing this?

I thought that the cloture rule did not apply to the budget.

Within the rules of the Senate, whatever works to shut the CRomnibus down.

At this particular point in time, I would/will support Ted Cruz in damn near anything.

Someone put a “hold” on the Bill yesterday in the senate. I believe this means that someone will filibuster the bill. It could be Warren or Cruz.

It’s pointless. There will be enough McCains, Grahams, and the rest of the feckless GOP to vote for cloture. It has no teeth to stop anything. The one lone chance to have success was with Marlin Stuztman in the House holding to his principles. He’s whining now the House Leadership lied to him - like he couldn’t have figured that out. So Stutzman gave us Cromnibus, betraying his Tea Party ideals. And if Stutzman was stupid enough believe snakes like Boehner and McCarthy and Scalise and the rest of the RINO gang, then he doesn’t deserve his seat.

Why not? The Media is already painting him as a skunk and even comparing him to that squaw, Elizabeth Poke-a-haunt-us Warren!!!
Except they're painting him as more evil and sinister than her Commonistic ugliness!!!
