[Political Junkie Too]

Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., took a swipe at Cruz’s tactics, saying the Texas Republican had no “end game.”

That's the problem with today's Republicans - they are afraid to act if they don't know with 100% what the "end game" outcome is.

Democrats don't care about the end game. They know that anything can happen once you engage and start mixing things up.

I heard Cruz being interviewed by Mark Liven Radio and his End Game was very clear. His intent was to inform the consistencies of the Republican Senators as to what they were really doing, to expose their attempts at lying to the citizens. Cruz said if he did not insist on a full vote of the Senate, as he was entitled to under senate rules, that the Democrats would have been able to vote and carry the Budget by a simple vote of 51 Democrats; and the Republicans, all 40 plus could JUST say they voted against the lifting of the debt ceiling. On the other hand by Cruz being able to force the 60% vote, Cruz was able to expose to the Republican voters what their individual Senators were doing, voting YES or NO for the extension of the debt limit. He thought the citizens were entitled to know HOW FAR THE REPUBLICAN SENATORS WERE WILLING TO FIGHT/GO REGARDING LIMITING FEDERAL SPELLING.
Suits me, but then I have already left the Republican party, though I might be able to vote for one or two, depending upon the issue.
