Ted Cruz has a titanium backbone. Today, the elite's mouthpiece McConnell gave conservatives and regular folks a backhand-- but, this time, Ted Cruz smacked him silly.

Wonderful man. Give me a Cruz/Walker or Walker/Cruz ticket and I will be a happy man.

One doesn’t strike the king to wound. Cruz is going for the jugular here.

This is why you close your primaries...so Democrats can’t keep voting for scoundrels like McConnell and Boehner in GOP primaries.

Justin Amash is more of a libertarian but he’s been hammering away at the party leadership as well.

Any response from turkey neck?

My wife says they will do nothing because it has gone so far they think they are immune from all fault or criticism.

Methinks Mr. Cruz is getting in his last shots before getting scrood by the party.

He must know it’s coming. The press, including the WSJ, either refer to Cruz as and odd ball or describing him in other unflattering ways.

All of it unjustified and unwarranted.

Jeb is the one. Rove and the girls will accept no other.

Cruz and/or Trump and/or Walker should join forces, go Independent soon and run away with the whole thing. None of those guys will get the nomination.

For a Senator who is a faction leader and a Presidential candidate to take to the floor of the Senate and call his Majority leader a lying untrustworthy enemy of his colleagues and the people is almost without precedent.

This is bigger than the “you lie” during the State of the Union, IMHO.

McConnell will be stroking out after this. Tomorrow will be interesting.

The CSpan link freezes up for me shortly after it starts.

Here’s an alternative link to the 24 minute speech by Cruz:

Cruz was on the mark! While The Donald has a lot of guts and doesn’t have to worry about donations, he is not a conservative in the true sense. I pray that people see the difference and realize the better man is really Cruz.

Pray for Ted Cruz. He is going to be hit from all sides. McConnell’s office said he would make no comment, but you can bet they are sending out plenty of folks to make comments in his stead.

So, I'm told he writes in his book about how corrupt and dirty dealing the Senate is.

But suddenly today after ? yrs, he's shocked that he was lied to...Got it.

Wow that was fantastic. I hope that Senator Cruz is resigned to the idea that his political career may not be a long one if the GOPe has its way, but it’s OK, God will look out for him and his future no matter what. He speaks truth, and DC can’t take much of that, if any at all.
