Perfect timing-rattle their cages big time . His confirmation hearings would be right in the heat of the election season, articulating the GOP positions that the cowards in our party won't defend. What are the Democrats gonna do? There's more: When the election is over Cruz has the option of DECLINING the job, starting a new set of hearings, pissing off and exposing OUR turncoats. It all starts with an orchestrating meeting between Trump and Clarence Thomas-payback. LMFAO.

Republicans are finally getting smart on Obamacare. It took one of the savviest Republican senators -- Ted Cruz of Texas, with an assist from Mike Lee of Utah -- to get the GOP to figure out how to replace Obamacare, reduce premiums and save money for the government, all without alienating millions of voters. He's pulled the Republicans' fannies out of the fire, flipping a losing strategy into a big-time winner. The Cruz amendment -- which has been inserted into the GOP Senate health plan -- is smart, because it doesn't take anything away from anyone. If you want Obamacare,...

But even though several healthcare exchanges are collapsing and millions around the country are in danger of losing healthcare services provided by Obamacare, Republicans have had a difficult time figuring out how to go from the party of “no Obamacare” to the party of healthcare solutions. After much wrangling, the House eventually passed a bill that was imperfect in...

Fresh from crushing Soviet-style socialist Bernie Sanders in the CNN debate on Obamacare Tuesday night, Texas Senator Ted Cruz moved his target to another hateful progressive Marxist, Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has been viciously smearing Senator Jeff Sessions, President Trump’s nominee to be the nation’s next attorney general, as a racist.

Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will be moderating this debate, and for once Cruz will have...

David Cole, a Georgetown University law professor and national legal director at the ALCU, a communist front group, was trying to desperately smear Jeff Sessions as a racist and Ted Cruz cut him up with a butter knife, asking him why he omitted key facts from his argument that would have invalidated his argument if he were truly “strictly nonpartisan.” {.. snip ..}
