Cruz’s mistake was in believing anything GOPe leadership ever told him. They have no honor, no country, no morals, no shame. Only their second-tier power.

Cruz is doing a ‘GREAT JOB’ of exposing how corrupt the GOP is.

Ted said his staff tried to warn him that Mitch was lying to him. He ignored their advice and trusted Mitch.

OK, this is a problem...
If he is going to get rolled like this by a 2nd rate carny huckster like Mitch freakin McConnell, how will he do when he has to negotiate with Putin or the Chinese or really any other foreign leader?
Bad enough to vote for the horrible deal that the TPA is, but then to say “hey they lied to me and tricked me into doing it” just makes it worse in my book.

Ted Cruz was just now on with El Rushbo. He has crossed the Rubicon to be sure.
But if McConnell tries to make this a personal war, he could end up damaging his own prestige.
One-on-one debate, anyone?

I’m thinking Trump/Cruz should NOW form a third party to take on the GOP in the next presidential election. To wait until after the primary’s Bush endorsement to then split will be too late, giving Clinton the win.

Cruz is doing a GREAT JOB of exposing how corrupt the GOP is. Long over due. Now where are the Congressmen that will expose Boehner who is now calling for Hillary to produce her server. He didn't however issue a subpoena, lying piece of cr@p.

We need this guy in ways I can’t list.
He just stood up and took down the biggest fraud in Republican party history.
INCREDIBLE COURAGE.
The Long Knives of the Corrupt will be out for him, for he really is the Untouchable.
To: Gaffer
Cruz knows "Never ask a question that you don't know the answer". Blame this one on himself. Didn't do his homework.
But the bigger picture is...Cruz's blame game.
I like Cruz. He's certainly smart and a speaker of excellence.....particularly on legal matters. He belongs first as the Attorney General under Walker and then in the United States Supreme Court.

I believe there was already a ruling on her producing her server.

Better get a clothespin to clamp that turkey gizzard from flapping back and forth...he must really have his panties in a wad now. John and Mitch will have to have 5 cocktails for lunch today.

Cruz’s bucking against the GOPe is the best. Name one other running for president that has done better.

You're a complete fool ...
Mitch McConnell isn't a second-rate joker ... his Constitutional title is "Senate Majority Leader" ...
Cruz owed McConnell at least one chance to be fair, and McConnell lied through his teeth.
Ted Cruz then had the balls to publicly hammer McConnell ... on the senate floor, no less ...
Go back to "coloring" in your "book" ...
