The GOP’s anger at Sen. Ted Cruz — expressed mostly in private meetings this week — burst onto the usually collegial Senate floor on Thursday, with Sen. Bob Corker excoriating his Texas Republican colleague for blocking a quick vote to avert a government shutdown next week.
In a highly unusual Republican v. Republican exchange, Corker accused Cruz of delaying a Thursday vote simply to create a “show” to cater to his conservative activist supporters at the expense of making good policy.

Correction: 2018.
Has the MSM ever, even once, "praised" a Democrat in this manner (i.e., "he can work with Republicans...")
Of course not.
Compromising with Democrats (who never compromise) moves the country bakwards, not forwards
I agree, unintended consequences and all that....love it!
Names have been written down, memorized, and I know I will never ever forget those who desire a horrid future for my children and all of us.
Corker is in the back pocket of the establishment and I think that there are many more as well. This is their southern strategy, pick people from the south, package them as conservatives and have them do their bidding. The establishment has its secret people everywhere not just the south. We have to play close attention because these people rule by deception.
