All the FReepers above (through post 8, anyhow) are being jerks for attacking one of the mere handful of Senators who are actually giving wholehearted support to Trump’s agenda. I guess counterproductive low-thinkers will always be amongst us.
I’m ashamed more senators aren’t there. It takes a bit of nerve to face the possibility of Arab mischief, and it looks like only four have it.
yes you make a good point.
We need allies wherever we can find them, on various issues.
And let’s be realistic enough, to know that we will get support on some issues but not some others.
And let’s not bash supporters on one issues, who for whatever reason didn’t offer support on something else, if they are with us on the issue of the day.
Didn’t Reagan say something, to the effect that, if someone supports you 80% of the time, that person is an ally, one from who you want to cultivate support, not denigrate them for the times they didn’t support you?
Didn’t Reagan also say something, to the effect that, you don’t always get everything you want, but if you can get half of what you want, by cultivating support, that’s better than nothing?
Maybe I mixed some metaphors, and sorry if I did. But I hope everyone gets what I’m getting at.

Exactly!
Let me add my two bits of New York values: these are the last two senators I’d like representing the prez in Israel.
That’s my feeling too. As I said in an earlier post, I don’t like them personally or politically - but I don’t live in either of their districts so there’s nothing I can do - but I am glad they’re going. Trump needs legislative support where he can get it.
Encourage them, don’t shoot them down.
absolutely right though Cruz did not vote for the Omnibus bill. Bravo to Cruz..one of the best senators in DC
Yes, yes, yes!
What you said a thousand times over.
Amen. Cruz has been loyal to the President since trump took office. This hateful impulse to (figuratively) put a bullet in the head of an ally is completely inexplicable.
Well said, House.
Totally agree. It’s long past time for Jim Robinson to tell these anti-conservative Cruz-bashers to knock it off. It’s always the same handful of hateful jerks who come to Cruz threats to spew their vitriol and divisiveness. They are tools.
Agreed
The same way we score Curz supporters bearing sour grapes it past time for the Trump supporters to stop it.
Cruz fought hard and lost. There is no dishonor in that. Cruz has moved on and is one of the few totally reliable Trump allies in the US Senate.
It is well past time Freepers on both sides to drop it.
If we all had acted like Ted did in 2016, Hillary Clinton would be president right now.
Sadly some folks I have a lot of respect for can’t grasp the reality of this.
Ted Cruz was a traitor to Conservatism in 2016.
He will never have my respect or support again.
Same here man. My hatred is for McCain (I hope you die quicker you old puke) and a number of RINO assholes. Cruz is going to support Israel, not support the PLO. Let’s filter our hatred towards those who deserve it..
Hey - it’s what so many FReepers do - bitch about the bad stuff and sneer when someone does something good because it “ain’t never no way enuff for them”....
Agree. I am glad to see that I will be represented by my junior Senator from Texas.
To hell with those whose Senators will stay home counting their coins.
