They’ve been planning this media blitz for months, if not years.
What we saw yesterday was the culmination of a huge effort, completely planned and anticipated.
It would appear that - once again, as usual - the Republicans didn’t see it coming, had no plan to reply.

I agree with you that they didn’t see something coming, but we know for a fact that they saw IT coming!
Simply put, they didn’t care because it’s all about them.
So they did their usual kabuki dance and answered their constituents concerns with fairy tales and show votes.
But no matter what they said, they never really intended to stand up for the Constitution, for Freedom, for Americans.
No, they held hands with evil and helped IT along because they’re all one big happy beltway family.
But their self-serving plans of DC bipartisanship were rudely interrupted, because the thing they didn’t see coming was Sen. Cruz Missile.
I guess I will add in limited defense of some of the conservative legislators that I have seen them bring up that a budget has not been passed for X years but they peter out on that message as there is no follow up interest by the reporter of commentator. They are “in on it” more than Republican office holders.
Cruz is new and made up his mind to be relentless. Much like Gingrich in the 90s he took the path and will be vilified for it. However, he is so new, he is harder to single out without giving him prominence that the media does not want him to have.
