If Cruz voted for him, McConnell must have made a pretty strong case for the direction he is going to take. I think they realize that we are watching them and finally realize that they must fight Obama. I also think there are probably some dems that want to fight Obama and McConnell knows who they are.
Six Democrats voted against Harry Reid for their leader: Kaine, Landrieu, McCaskill, Warner, Manchin and Heitkamp .
I wish the Republicans had taken a real roll call vote as well and sent McConnell a message.
