Cruz is the only GOP pol getting my vote for 2016. The rest will be 3rd party. I'm done with the GOP. Only traitors and morons vote GOP.
How and why does Cruz escape your rightful disgust? He voted for it the first time; today, McConnell told him his vote was not needed. Happens all the time with these votes. Now, he can go out in the field and say he voted against cloture, and since only 51 votes are needed to pass the bill, he can also vote against the bill. He will neglect to mention he helped make it all possible in the beginning.
Yep. Unfortunately, the GOP is corrupt and is a formidable corrosive force that will do everything in its power to deny him vital political resources unless he capitulates to their demands. I like Cruz but IMO there is no way he will ever be president. The powers that be won’t allow it because he is a threat to them and their symbiotic arrangements with the Dems. That’s just the stark reality.
