Is Ted Cruz the only US Senator who understands bargaining using your strengths?
That’s just not good enough.... Block Lynch until hell freezes over and then some.
She’s already revealed she will be just as lawless as Holder.
That is true. Cruz is the most consistent conservative. But that creates another problem. He can not win the majority of senators or even majority of voters. Most voters are NOT consistent conservatives.
“What difference does that make?”-——Hilda Clinton.
All that means is we get Holder to stay on for 2 more years.
Obama would let the US explode before he would blink
ABSOLUTELY!! AG is not a bargaining chip, especially when your negotiating opponent is a yellow-bellied, lying, lawless skunk. What a crappy deal
Surrender is always the only option for some people
Is Ted Cruz the only US Senator who understands bargaining using your strengths?
I believe so, but he has already been sold out by his own party.
I just don't think that's true. When conservatives had a clear message and ran an excellent campaign, they overwhelmingly won (unless they were sabotaged by the RINO elite). The problem is that when they get to DC too many go over to the dark side.
It's the RINO elite that can't win. They don't give anyone a reason to vote for them.
Cruz, again, is right.
Voters gave the Senate to the republicans for a good reason.
Reagan compromised a lot with then speaker of House Tip O’Neill. Note that spending by federal government almost tripled during 8 years of Reagan.
Do you think even for a minute, a president Cruz would have signed on to such humongous spending increases?
What exactly was wrong in the messages of:
Ken Cuccinelli
Sharron Angle,
Christine O’Donnell
George Allen
Joe Miller
Ken Buck
Christine O’Donnell
Alan West
Barry Goldwater
??
All of above were good, consistent conservatives.
Problem was voters were not.
Allow a wholly divisive AG the possibility of gaining office in trade for another unconstitutional edict like giving (US) citizenship status to 5 million mexican criminals.
How about, "nothing illegal" or counter to the Constitution
Spare me Cruz is so good, he is the problem like 545 others in DC.
Yes.
And look at the McDaniel situation. He had it won in the primary, and the backstabbing elite played every dirty trick they could think of to stop that from happening.
We will see who the real leader of the Senate is.
Cruz can do that all by himself by putting a "hold" on the nomination...if he has the cajones. Or is he just makeing noise to get noticed? Lately, it has been, "Cruz this", "Cruz that", "Cruz the-other-thing", but has he actually done anything?
What happened to McDaniel was indeed shameful.
But keep in mind the Media will always attempt to tear down consistent conservatives. It is a hill they must be able to climb in order to prevail. And it is never easy.
Which is why now I look for candidates who have the skills to win. No matter how good conservative a candidate is, when they lose elections, they become totally ineffective to change any laws.
