Ted is ruling and schooling in the Senate. I’m staying up with him til the end tonight.
My theory: Cruz is trying to move the needle further against WhoMeCare by going straight to the people. But since in the GOPe’s view he’s already been outmanuevered (through Dem/Rep teamwork) it’s safe for the GOPe to say they support him now. They know how it’s going to play out, the game is rigged.
Now they want to give Cruz a pat on the head in an attempt to buy the tea party off. That won’t work with Cruz or the Tea Folks. We know the game is rigged.
