She dropped out to let the current shill get elected so she could finally get what she wanted in 1993. She wants to collect all the credit in 2016. That must never happen.

We are now literally watching an old cliche in action:

“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.”

Good men and women cannot ‘stand by’ and surrender.

The body is now about political power and not deliberation.

You’re right. Regardless- it’s a truly remarkable moment which will be coughed and ahemed over by the GOPe.

God Bless Ted Cruz and all who have helped him. He is getting attention and changing minds I just know it. The longer he goes, the more people will watch and pay attention. He is shaming the RINOS. And he is spreading COURAGE.
________

Ditto that!!!!!!!

Didn't Ted already say that if they vote for this thing nobody can offer any amendments?

IIRC, Reid had already announced that he would not allow any amendments to be offered.

"It is a symposium on liberty".

Agree. The whole thing should be saved. It would be an excellent teaching tool. And Americans need to have reminders of what liberty is, and what we have to lose, if we don't fight to keep it.

This is the key to being able to fix what's wrong.

So here I am, catching up with what’s been transpiring. Had to get some sleep, clean a gun, and kick The Bride out the door to get her to work on time.

So far, I read both O-CNN and Faux have put out the meme of “Sit-Down-Cruz-Your-Own-Party-Doesn’t-Like-You”. Haven’t heard anything from O-CBS, O-NBC, or ABC-Disney, yet.

Social media is ablaze with talk of this.

My question for the floor is: didn’t Reid already say that the vote is inevitable, and Cruz will stop when the roll is called?

My civilian job is awash with Odinga supporters, and I would like a few talking points to shut them down.

Yes! I hope it is saved on videotape! It is a symposium on liberty that we can all learn from!

“Social media is ablaze with talk of this.”

Social media unrest “created” the Arab Spring.

Maybe social media can create the “Obama-care Fall”.

"Cruz speaks eloquently. No ummss, ahhh, or ehhhss"

And no teleprompter!

"I was not unhappy to wake up about an hour ago to see Rubio doing his part to help Cruz & Company."

Rubio boned it up on immigration, but I will say Rubio is the best speaker D.C. has seen since Reagan. No sleep, no notes, no teleprompter, but an organized, eloquent speech better than any practiced, prepared, programmed, promptered crap from TheOne. Even Rubio's toss-back to Cruz was near-perfect.

FoxNews reported that Cruz was starting hour 17 — with a little help from his friends.

[I hope he keeps going and refuses to relinquish the floor to Reid later today. :) ]
