"The lame duck speaker, on his way out, will no doubt land in a plush easy chair, in the Washington D.C. cartel, and will soon be making millions of dollars, living off the cartel," Cruz said.

***************

As Cruz gains traction, (1) he's become more and more emboldened; and (2) some of these weak kneed Congress pawns, may decide it's not to their advantage to continue to side with Mitch.

Let’s pray and hope.

If we don’t have serious momentum going into 2016, Mrs. Bill “I sold missile-guidance technology to the ChiComs” Clinton will be the next POTUS.

Sen. Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican presidential candidate, conducted a 90-minute takedown late Thursday of his own Majority Leaderhoser

That's factually incorrect, because Senator Ted Cruz isn't Uniparty...

[be-baw]

Cruz has clearly started a new more assertive phase of his campaign. It’s a good look for him. His master strategy might just pay off.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Ted is right again.

[Inyo-Mono]

Great on Cruz to tell it like it is.

“Climate change legislation and an amendment to revive the Export-Import were among the measures brought to the floor despite opposition from a majority of Republicans, Cruz noted. The provisions passed with mostly Democratic support.”

What was the climate change legislation?

Do the least amount of work at the last second, while spending the most amount of money with increases built in, and bring along every last one of your workplace peers with you in this philosophy.

There. That's the definition of success in the federal government's workforce.

I think that Cruz is right on the money.

The budget bill advances for a final vote, 63-35.

Kabuki theater at its finest.

It got 60 votes at the 93 vote total mark—such drama! /s

Rand stands to speak—will he filibuster?

[oldvirginian]

Get used to it Mitch.
High explosives and white phosphorus incoming!

You chose to side with the enemy and now you must pay the price.

And to think, if not for Ted Cruz, the rabid turtle would have gotten away Scott free.

As we get angrier and angrier with the 95 percent of Republicans in Congress who are fake conservatives or anti-conservatives, some of them may endorse Ted Cruz as a fig leaf to cover themselves.

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.

God I love this guy.

Governor Inslee, D-WA, said pretty much the same thing. He said that the Republicans are going to get the Democrats in WA elected. He was referring to the fact Patty Murray is running for re-election unopposed.

Back in September, the State Republicans posted something on my Facebook page about opposing Patty Murray. My comment was that stopping Patty Murray would be a good idea, but what are you going to say about her? ....that she makes back room deals with Mitch McConnell?

[Eva]

You have to remember that it was a Democrat operative who helped McConnell commit voter fraud in the GOP primary. He is beholden to the Democrats.

[Pajamajan]

Ted Cruz is taking it to the treacherous Rinos who have allowed so much damage to be done to our country on their watch. Go Cruz!

His book "A Time for Truth" is quite an eye-opener about how the Washington Cartel works-A Must-Read.

I can’t remember any GOP senator speaking like this about the GOPe. I’m lovin’ it.

[WKUHilltopper]

Cruz is right too. McConnell is nothing more than a veiled Commiecrat.
