All of the Republican senators should have backed Senator Cruz’s and Senator Lee’s attempt. However, I’m not ready to write them all off because of it. Some went farther than simply voting for cloture. Some of them actually attacked Senator Cruz. That’s simply unacceptable. Make those conflicts private, senators! Don’t provide aid and comfort to our enemy on the Senate floor!
My senators are Inhofe and Coburn. Coburn voted for cloture. Inhofe did not. I know some (most) FReepers now believe Coburn is a traitor, but Coburn has always been a reliable vote against big government. Now I think Inhofe did the right thing by standing with Cruz, but I don’t agree that Coburn is a RINO and a traitor simply because he disagreed with Cruz (and Inhofe) and voted for cloture.
Your comments make no sense.
A vote for cloture was a vote for funding Obamacare and for vastly expanding government.
