AMERICAN PEOPLE ELECTED A REPUBLICAN MAJORITY BELIEVING IT WOULD SOMEHOW BE DIFFERENT FROM A DEMOCRATIC ONE
WASHINGTON, D.C. – After speaking on the Senate floor today, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) issued the following statement:
“We’ve just seen something extraordinary on the Senate floor. The American people elected a Republican majority believing that a Republican majority would be somehow different from a Democratic majority in the United States Senate. Unfortunately, the way the current Senate operates, there is one party, the Washington party.
“Senate leadership consists of the McConnell-Reid leadership team. They operate as a team. They support the same priorities. If you look at what has occurred in the United States Senate since the Republicans took a majority, we immediately returned after winning a historic majority to pass a trillion dollar ‘cromnibus’ bill filled with corporate welfare and pork. Then, the so-called Republican majority voted to fund Obamacare. Then, the so-called Republican majority voted to fund President Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty. Then, the so-called Republican majority voted to confirm Loretta Lynch as attorney general. Then, just moments ago, the so-called Republican majority voted to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, an egregious example of cronyism and corporate welfare.
“Every one of those is the priority of the Democratic leader Harry Reid

Or as I like to say, “The Early Bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the Cheese”.
Cruz is the ‘second mouse.’
True.
But there’s a point where it crosses the line to not being much different than the greater evil.
Mussolini vs Hitler?
Job vs Hillary
The lessor evil argument is normally used like this: “I am done, done, voting for the lessor of two evils”.
On this particular thread, that sentence would read: “I done voting for the lessor of two evils, it’s either Cruz or I’m going to leave that part of the ballot blank”.
There’s many others supporting Cruz but they need not expose themselves currently, it’s not in the plan yet.........there’s a very tactical game plan being played out....we need to watch and enjoy the plays. Cruz and Trump and those orchestrating this are just getting warmed up...
They don’t really care one way or other as I see it....and they certainly won’t admit any alarm even if they are alarmed....they generally are already moving forward by the time we get the news.
I think when the time comes we’ll all know what to do.....I say this because I do think this election cycle is going to be different and has shown so already......In my thinking I thought I’d vote for any Republican we got.....this time no...because it’s not going to be just the ‘usual suspects’...there’s going to be some twists and turns ahead ...and surprisingly so I think. So I’m not locking myself into anything long range...except I will stay with Cruz for whatever duration....if he doesn’t take the nomination why then I’m free to determine from that point.
Since November, 2014, the Boner & MConnell have given Obama 100% of what he wanted.
And Team Obvious maintains our 100% prediction record.
With no likely failure in sight : )
