Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) called freshman GOP Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) a “schoolyard bully” during a contentious exchange Monday on the Senate floor.
The two senators bickered as Cruz rose to object to Reid’s motion to appoint conferees to a House-Senate budget committee.
Cruz said he was concerned that the conference report—which cannot be filibustered—would be used to raise the nation’s debt ceiling. He asked that Reid amend his motion to go to conference to make out of order any provisions raising taxes or raising the debt ceiling.
Reid said Cruz had a chance to amend the Senate budget—which raises $975 billion in new tax revenue from tax reform—when it was considered on the floor.

Obama and his Lame Duck Dynasty is in decline.
Sen. Reid, the mob-connected criminal, sure has some gall.
Cruz fights back. Bullies like Reid hate that.
Dingy Harry nailed to the wall!
Understanding procedural motions and how they work is extremely complicated.
Cruz did his homework and then some!
For a freshman he is kicking A and taking Names — and I helped put him there in my first Texas vote! Yay me! ;)
Pure Projection.
Reid is nothing more than a whining little drama queen, unlike dingy Harry Ted Cruz doesn’t snivel.

Exactly true !
I believe that psychologists call it a “case of projection”
when you ascribe your actions onto someone else.
Reid knows how he ‘bullies’ legislation in the Senate ...
Harry and he circling drain.
LOL! Reid, the powerful Senate Majority Leader, is calling a brand new freshman senator, Cruz, a bully.
A freshman minority senator is “bullying” the majority leader?? How does that work, harry?
Seems to me that Cruz is trying to save me some money while stupid ole Harry wants more of my money to spend so he can buy votes to keep his silly butt in office. I'm absolutely amazed the people of NV keep sending him back to office when he does little but raise their taxes and spend more of their money. Stupid...
Poor wittle crybaby Weid is skeered of Ted Cruz ‘cause Ted hab a bwain. And Weid duzn’t.
