You don’t seem to have any problem with the “conservatives” that voted for cloture

See you don't understand. They aren't conservatives. But I want someone who would show up and fight. Why did a lot of RINOs vote no today, but Cruz couldn't? You should realize what you’re doing.

You don't realize what you are doing. You are saying it's okay to wimp out. You should be pressuring candidates to the right, instead of giving the message that they don't have to fight.

That's why I put sarcasm quotes around the word "conservatives".

Because they were allowed to. Those are called safe votes. I like to call it kabuki theater. It's a meaningless charade designed to fool people who pay scant or no attention to such things.

Yes, I do realize what I'm doing. I am happy that Ted showed up for the Superbowl vote which was the cloture vote. I'm happy with the speech he gave about it, and I'm happy that he voted against it.

I understand that the vote that followed was the Pro Bowl vote, and it doesn't matter at all if he participated in the Pro Bowl or not, because the Pro Bowl doesn't matter at all. It's just a show.

If you want to cannibalize the man for missing a show vote, then you go ahead and gnaw away. I'm not going to.
