“It would appear that - once again, as usual - the Republicans didnt 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.
Your point about one man with convictions making a big change in the equation is very telling. We each can be that one man in discussions with our fellows around the water cooler.
