Ted Cruz saved America at 3:30 AM last night…
Citizen Free Press ^ | August 13, 2021 | Kane

Chuck Schumer brought HR1 – SR 1 to the floor around 3:30 a.m. after the Senate had concluded 15 hours of amendment votes on a $3.5 trillion budget resolution. In the dead of night, Schumer sought to pass the federal overhaul of elections by unanimous consent, according to the Houston Chronicle. Only one objection by a senator was required to stop the process. In a roughly 15-minute back-and-forth, Cruz tanked Schumer’s attempt to force the election bill through the Senate.

I didn’t realize we had a 99-1 deficit in the Senate.

50 DEMINCRATS and 49 Assistant DEMONCRATS.

There should have been a united front with every Republican objecting, not just one guy standing there with his finger in the Dyke.

Before anyone tries to be funny:

Dyke (embankment), a natural or artificial slope or wall to regulate water levels, called a levee in American English Ditch, a water-filled drainage trench A regional term for a dry stone wall.

They only needed one objection. After that it was over.

He is exonerated for his verbal epithets.

It’s his goon tactics that are unforgettable.

He gamed the state Republican machines to knock out Trump from the nomination, at the upcoming National Republican Convention.

That Steal failed, by the grace of God, thankfully.

We got a Man for president and not a Snake.

That scandal got press and Cruz tanked and stank.

Seeding state delegations with his own delegates, and denying nominations of true Trump supporters to be picked as delegates, for attending National Convention.

The Cruz tactic was to send his own delegates as “Trump” delegates, in order to jam the National Convention with “Trump” delegates who would SWITCH TO CRUZ, for the final nomination vote.

He did it to Ben Carson, in Iowa.

He did it bigly, in Colorado.

He did it in Texas.

(I know. I was a Texas state delegate and a real Trump supporter, who could not get nominated by my own conservative district.)

The states R machine(s) got the word passed down to be very cautious who they nominated as Trump delegates to National, if they actually supported Trump.

Curious, fwdude.
We’re you in, on it, yourself?

Imagine that, someone using whatever tactics LEGALLY available to them to win a primary.

Go pound sand. You wouldn’t know a conservative if he hit you with a cement truck.

I have a coward, commie senator, and a hero Senator. Cornyn is the coward/commie, and Cruz is the Hero. I have always supported Ted, and was initially for him before the nomination of our President, but I did switch over to PDJT and voted for him in the primary. But I still supported Cruz as our Senator.

Cruz has been lambasted unjustifiably and mercilessly because he has the gall to run against Trump. Even on this site.

LOL, Cruz wasn't "lambasted" for running against Trump. He was lambasted for refusing to endorse Trump at the RNC by telling people "vote their conscience".

So cry me a river.

Legal, with Cruz, is a certainty.

He oracles the “legal”.

No,... Cruz lacks core integrity.

Legal fixes are still-a-steal.

He Fixed the count.
