My friends: Leave Kagen + the wise Latina alone. We get nothing out of suggesting that Roberts was one of the 5. Think of the Trump effect on Flake/Corker. No need to beat up on the left. As for Cruz he wins reelection in 2018 and if he bombs he stays in the Senate and torments the Turtle.
You are right. Cruz slamming Moore is like Hatch working with the Swimmer all those years. Reagan should have kicked him upstairs to SCOTUS after the Bork sham. Would they have done the same with one of their own? We would have been spared 2+ decades of another ‘conservative’ RINO. Cruz may very well be going down that same road. Get reelected and then see what’s next. He could be a good majority leader/thorn. Publicly debate all 2020 Rat contenders one at a time on one issue each like he did with Bernie and those other 2. Pence would be the better choice as he has the time + he represents Trump. Trump will orchestrate everything to our approval. Trust me.
Chaos is Trump’s ally. Cruz serves a purpose in the senate — he checks McConnell’s worst impulses.
