He lines them up and knocks them down. He's been fighting since he got there. Wrote a book outlining some of the problems. Clearly, he is not afraid to fight. Some in the Establishment Will Say This Was inappropriate, I Say He Is A hero.

It's better than nothing, which is more than we're getting from anyone else not named Trump.

I like Cruz. Mitch is Obama’s Biotch and that is all there is to that.

Mitch and his thugs did one thing democrats were never able to get me to do .... leave the republican party.

I am now an independent. I will vote more often for the republican candidate but it won’t be for clowns like Mitch, Boehner, or McCain.

Well he was wrong, but the people who actually re-elected McConnell were even more wrong. But, in defense of all of them, what do you do when someone who claims to be a conservative and is running on a conservative platform, just flat-out lies? He got away with it by claiming that they just needed the Senate majority to press ahead, that not having it was the bump in the road. That was the excuse for his record to that date, it was the excuse of all the incumbents. Then we have the ones who are running for their first win and have no record of being in office, some of those also just flat-out lied. What do you do against people who categorically state that they are conservatives, who categorically run on a conservative platform, get elected or re-elected, and then show, once the deed is done, that they were just unashamedly lying?

You don’t elect them. Moreover, you sure don’t elect lifelong liberals like Donald Trump who, during an election cycle, say what conservatives want to hear.

I recently moved. When I sign up with the local election board, I’ll now be an independent.

Preclude to arm twisting is bringing out the truths for all to hear. Well done Senator Cruz.
