A complete waste of time and taxpayer money. With all the problems this nation has, Mr. Cruz chose to hold everything up for a narcissistic side show. Pathetic. Mr. Cruz – and the nation – would be better served if Mr. Cruz would just shut up and listen to others for a change.

I'm thinking 'Depends' or a Foley catheter. Maybe he borrowed some diapers from Vitter!
Whatever...the arrogant blowhard couldn't even comprehend the point of "Green Eggs & Ham". He's supposed to be smart, eh?
Up until last night, the world was laughing at republicans stupidity. Now, after Cruz great debacle, even republicans are laughing at their own stupidity.
He finally ate his green eggs and ham !
People love to say how dysfunctional DC politicians have become , yet they are the product of a dysfunctional people who elect them .
