Was McCain wishing to ask a question or did McCain ask him to yield? McCain's party leader (Harry Reid) was asking for time for McCain. lol.

The media and people like Scourborough are mentioning only that Cruz read Dr. Suess.
Yeah, and they fail to mention that he did this as a bedtime story to his kids as he could not be in two places at the same time. GO CRUZ!!
To: Jane Long
God bless Ted Cruz!
Amen to that. Senator from Idaho now up....not sure of his name.

I know where you’re coming from. The final blow (or watershed moment) for me was seeing the GOP backstabbing of Palin. That did it for me. Tossed three decades of solid and devoted support for the Republican Party into the wastebasket.
I’ve had nothing but alienation and intense distrust towards the Party ever since. The attacks on Cruz are just a continuation of what led me to all this.
To: austinaero
Since one of my Senators is Robert Menendez, I would imagine he’s probably snorting coke off the backside of an underaged Dominican whore right about now...

To: SE Mom; seeker41; All
Reid, Pelosi and now McCain are Obama-Zombies.
They are dedicated to the dictates that promote the un-American Utopian Obamanation.

Good move by Cruz to not except another hour if he has to give 15 minutes to John McLame! Yep Harry and Barry's inside man McShame of course he has no shame. John McCain Lindsey Graham, Corker, Alexander and others should be forced out of the party. It is also so typical of John McEgo to think his few words are more important that the obvious dedication to this nation that Cruz, Lee and others have shown the past 24 hours. McCain makes me sick. Why doesn't the puke make it official and join the Democratic Party? Hell why don't about a dozen of them?

They wanted McCain to talk on Cruz’s time, as they know that the audience will be there. If McCain talks without the Cruz backdrop, nobody will listen.

You know, to put the cap on this, Cruz should keep talking as long as he wishes. At least 4 more hours. That would be cool, esp if Harry Reid threatens to pull him off by calling the sergent at arms etc.
High drama here. Why stop now?

So for those on Twitter or those that would like to participate in the Twitter fight, hashtags currently trending:
#StandWithCruz
#MakeDCListen
#DefundObamacare
#KeepCruzing
GO CRUZ!
To: Old Sarge
My concern is, will it actually have an impact? "NEVER underestimate the power of the FORCE."
Cruz is a FORCE. I have been watching him for 12 1/2 hours.
I've witnessed A LEADER being BORN.
To: cdcdawg
McCain does more than surrender, he collaborates. McQueeg always waits until he is needed the most, that's when he stabs us in the back. Every time.

I missed his name too. He referred to Obama Care as either “abomination” or “Obamanation.” I’m honestly not sure which.
