Ted Cruz Talking Filibuster in progress (Live Thread)

Rand is right- SCOTUS justice Roberts loves O care so much-let him get it. Let them All have to get it. It tells you everything you need to know -that the politicians exempted themselves.

It’s something, isn’t it?

I don’t know why the GOP hasn’t been screaming it from the rooftops.

The GOP, especially the elites and beltway-ers, like the status quo. They are the go-along-to-get-along crowd. They don't mind minority status, because they still get a share from the $money troughs. They don't want or like change that upsets their comfort zone.

Team Cruz is causing dust in their comfort zone. Team Cruz is really shaking those who are up for reelection.

Some entertaining tweets from last night:

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

On wording: Cruz is doing exact same as @SenSanders Dec. 2010 speech. CBS, HuffPo, WaPo, LAT, Politico, RC, we all used "filibuster" then.

El Sooooper! @SooperMexican

My sources tell me that @SenTedCruz could not dislodge his lucky ostrich boots from @HarryReid's obama, which is why he isn't wearing them.

Dana Bash        ✔ @DanaBashCNN

Not to be outdone by would-be presidents cruz and paul, I'm told marco rubio Is headed to the senate floor in 20 minutes too

Mike Memoli        ✔ @mikememoli

.@SenTedCruz says he hopes voices of dissension in GOP "will stop firing at each other and start firing at the target."

Charles C. W. Cooke        ✔ @charlescwcooke

Just to screw with everyone, Ted Cruz should have worn pink tennis shoes.

15h
Senator Rand Paul        ✔ @SenRandPaul

I might try to sneak him some candy. #MakeDCListen @SenTedCruz

Lisa Lerer @llerer

CNN just showed a triple split screen of Rohani at the UN, Pres. Clinton & Obama at CGI, and Ted Cruz in Congress. Head exploding.

Emily Zanotti @emzanotti

I love this guy. He is my everything. RT @bennyjohnson: Corner guy getting suspicious.

Jonah Goldberg        ✔ @JonahNRO

At this point I would already be talking about how much I'd really like to have Wolverine claws.

Lachlan Markay @lachlan

Prediction: "White Castle" will be a racist dog whistle by the end of this evening's cable primetime.

Rand Paul: If you can’t sell something that is free, there must be a problem. LOL!

“If you can’t sell free health care something’s wrong”

Rand Paul

Hahhaah!

Dingy harry, becoming increasing irrelevant. He is nothing but a shill who is unprincipled and haughty. His downfall is near! Pride cometh before the fall..

haha what a great line. The media is going to be upset about THAT one.

Rubio is an excellent speaker. Everybody who helps out in this effort has risen greatly in my estimation for doing so. The gutless folks who start showing up this morning are pathetic.

Oh yes!! Several times, starting a month or so ago and again the other day. Been watching the Twitter hashtag “makedclisten off and on all night. Still number one this morning! People are really behind Cruz and pissed off at Cornyn and others for not supporting Cruz. We will be seeing a whole bunch of rinos losing their next primaries!! A big bonus in my book!

Roberts, as in SCOTUS Roberts??

GO CRUZ!

Thanks for the link. Cheered me right up. /sarc

“My civilian job is awash with Odinga supporters, and I would like a few talking points to shut them down.”

Have the Odinga supporters explain:

If Odingacare is ‘so good’, then why did Congress exempt itself . . .
That has at least slowed down some of the blabbermouths I’ve encountered....
Also kinda fun to see the look on their face and their quivering lips as they try to formulate their ‘answer’ . . .

If you can't sell healthcare that's free there's something wrong with it. "

Great point that they are spending money on ads, cause they can't get people to take it.

God Bless Cruz, he is still going. A fight for freedom.

“Just like in the movies, the Empire WILL strike back.”

TELL IT, CRUZ!

I agree, that was a great line.

Yes indeed!

Prediction: "White Castle" will be a racist dog whistle by the end of this evening's cable primetime.

I'll take that bet! I have a $10 bill that says I'm a "White Castle"!
