Why would Cruz et al tarnish their bright images by any association with this piece of execrable garbage?
Uh, you are aware that women vote in presidential elections too, right?
Cruz, Paul and Lee are probably the only three I would trust right now so, could it be that she is right on this? I have not seen the bill but it is possible. As Ronald Reagan once said, “it does not matter who gets credit” if it is the right thing to do.
Are you a concern troll? Or just a member of the circular firing squad?

No, they missed that whole 19th amendment thing.

Just a stab in the dark here..but could it be at their core Libertarians have much more in common with Liberals than Conservatives...
No, Cruz has shown that he’s not just a righteous grandstander. When someone from the opposition has something he can support, he’s a big enough man to work with her to do so.
This is a very good sign of his capacity for statesmanship, and this isn’t the usual GOPe giving away of the store.
Ooh a concern troll! We haven’t had one of those in awhile!
It’s not exactly important legislation, let’s be honest. Its all legal jargon to do with improving how the military deals with sexual assault claims. You’re overreacting.
Gillibrand may be a commie pig, but she’s not puppet master Schumer. She’s probably trying to get something bipartisan on her record because she intends to run for president in a decade or so.
Yes, this does seem like the concern trolls have been convened. You’d think they were both plotting to open a ‘Department of Trannies’ with salaries up to 900 k.

First, as far as I am aware, none of the above (to include the odious Gillibrand) has served so much as a single day in the Armed Forces of this country, my first response to them is, butt the h*ll out of this issue.
Second, I do believe — and have already posted as much on another thread — that this is Cruz’s first tactical mistake.
I do believe he is trying to suck up to someone — be it Dems or Libs in general, or, perhaps, as one poster has suggested, women, but... he is not going to help himself much, unless he can serve as a DRAG on the liberal tendencies of Gillibrand.
The entire sexual assault isssue — other than the occasional outlyer - can be laid at the feet of two (easily reversible) causes: 1) Introduction of women to the the military academies, barracks, ships, planes, and tents of our fighting men; and 2) Normalization of sodomy in the military.
Reverse these trends, and problem solved. Women can have their own military academy, fly in all female crews, sail with all female complements, and deploy with all-female platoons, if they are so much needed.
For the sodomites, on the other hand, a reversion back to the UCMJ of 1955 or so will be all that is needed. Bye-bye to the openly light-in-the-loafers crowd, but still room for the homosexuals who are able to “keep it to themselves.”
Politics, especially national politics is not a simple-simon checkers game, it is instead more akin to chess.
I too would not want to get too close to any dems, particularly from Nuevo York, but this issue sounds like a de-fuser for dems War on Women horsehockey.
I just don’t like her getting any traction by associating her name with a guy with actual values like Cruz. With her and Schumer as my senators and Grace Meng, a pro-immigrant uber lib lawyer as my congresscritter, I don’t feel like I have any representation at all. They are all lousy, and I don’t want them climbing out of the abyss of lib garbage they created for themselves. Stay there and leave people with values, like Cruz and the younger Rand alone.
Of course it could be that he agrees with her in this particular case. Even the most evil can be right every now and again.
Ooh a concern troll! We haven’t had one of those in awhile!

I see it as more of an honest concern on her part as to why Cruz is doing this.. The poster makes clear in a later post that she has nothing but lib dems representing her.
I understand her angst over someone with Cruz’s creds associating himself with Gillibrand over such an issue.
To be clear, however: I voted for Cruz, and I do think a great deal of him.
Cruz is my senator and I’m very proud of him as well.
The American army used to tell us that one of our differences from our Soviet enemies and one of their military weaknesses, was them having political officers looking over the shoulders of the regular army personnel.
Cruz and Rand are smart men. This ditz wouldn’t get anything past them. If anything, being anywhere near the Cruz name will hurt Gillibrand with her base of communist professors and abortion-loving single women.
I feel sorry for you being in NY. That sucks. Schmuck Schumer and this skank for representation. Oh, and Maoist Meng is always a plus. Reminds me of the late Chairman’s stir crazy wife.
Could be worse. You could be represented by Bernie Sanders.
