Earth to Cruz, its over. It was never going to happen. Stop wasting everyone time! Dont you have a job? I guess U.S. senators are over priced irrelevant lawyers. Arent you needed some where, like DC where you were elected to work for your state.

People have been much too quick to declare Ted Cruz to be some kind of nut or shill for somebody else.

I consider the insanity, such as it is, only temporary, and not any more of a limit on the future than Richard Nixon losing the California governorship in 1962.

True, it was said by Nixon, “Gentlemen, you won’t have Dick Nixon to kick around any more”, at what was believed to be Nixon’s last press conference, and that was thought to be the end of Nixon.

You have all had access to the history since then.
