"Senator Cruz could run 30 hours on the clock"

Chris Van Hollen just said this on Lawrence's show.

That means that psycho could crash the world on his own.

Ugh!

This is horrifying.

When we're out of the water we have to make sure this can NEVER happen again.

An unknown who is carrying his water would be perfect for cover from the ignorant masses - the only ones not screaming.

65 million screaming voters, calling, marching, pressuring, storming offices that need to be stormed, will make the dB rating record at Arrowhead stadium seem like a pin drop.

6. This begs the question about their goal

We're so close to default you have to wonder it that's their goal.

In that case public opinion doesn't matter - they're doing a job for an intended effect.

Cruz is a Dominionist like Palin, always wondered how that plays into things.

8. Those 80 rethugs who signed Mark Meadows pledge to stop Obama & the ACA

pretty much stated the length to which they are willing to undermine our nation. They won't even consider the destruction caused. To them it's just the price we all had to pay for their means to an end.

Ted Cruz & every Republican who supports him should be impeached from office; the public needs protection.

They're toying with people's jobs, then have the gall to blame the Democrats for "playing games". If they haven't hung themselves with their own rope with the way they've handled the shutdown, what will it take?

if he does do anything he will have alienated all of the other Senators.

if he doesn't do anything he will alienate the House nutjob lobby that he manipulated.
