I think Cruz said 3 Senators (Sessions, ? & ?) and 2 Congressmen (Gohmert & ?)

Haven’t seen Rand for awhile.

Meanwhile:

Drudge’s headline for the article:
Obama: ‘Unprecedented effort’ to scare...

“Scare” will be used in all of the talking points tomorrow.

This guy isn't bloviating, he's blowing the doors off of DC tonight.

Bingo. He is doing a masterful job.

That was hysterical, I too loved it!

C’mon, there are thousands and thousands of tweets to choose from and someone put that one up for him to read! Great choice.

I’m amazed actually that more haven’t shown up because it’s THE story on twitter,radio, tv, internet etc.

They should be made to regret it.

Rand Paul was there earlier, supporting him.

It will be interesting who shows up in the next few hours.

As much as I love Sessions, and I do, he pretty much signed off about 1/2 hour ago...

Right now the “back rooms” of DC are filled with politicos looking for ANYTHING to bring this guy down. Tomorrow, Sen. Cruz will face an onslaught from the “establishments”. Soon, innuendos will start about this guy since they haven’t been able to dig anything up yet.

Did you miss Rand’s filibuster?

He did the same thing, actually, I think it was Ted Cruz who read the tweets that were directed at Rand!

It is an interesting touch!

Thanks, and I agree......our senators need to hear from us. Finally we’re seeing some leadership (Cruz/Lee/Paul)....the other senators need to take some notes on how it’s done.

.....”We are bearing witness to one of the great American statesmen, coming into his prime. I never thought I would watch CSpan for hours, but cannot turn this off”......

You are not alone in that...Cruz is addictive because he has something informative and true to say...he’s talking to people...not preaching to us.

This is awesome! If I were a Republican Senator who was not there backing up Cruz then I would be feeling like a big nothing!

I am so disappointed in Rand, during his 12+ hour filibuster, Ted was there THE ENTIRE TIME!

Damn it Rand, get your tail back in there.

Here comes Mike Lee, an underrated star imho.

This is simply amazing. I could cry tears of joy...we are actually being represented. It has been a while. It is wonderful, just wonderful.

Is it a coincidence that the Washington Nationals are in the process of being no-hit (top of the ninth, one out)?
