"(CNN)Several senior Republican senators strongly rebuked Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Sunday for his controversial floor speech charging Senate Majority Mitch McConnell with lying about whether the Senate would vote to revive the Export-Import Bank."

"In other setbacks for Cruz, a GOP presidential candidate who polls in the low single digits, the Senate then voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Export-Import Bank, an institution Cruz complains is an example of Washington corporate welfare. Senators then refused to grant Cruz a roll call vote on a Senate rules change he was proposing that could have allowed him to offer an amendment related to the Iran nuclear deal."

===========================================

Cruz thinks he is always spot-on with his Republican colleagues but they've got News for him! There's harsh things to face when not using proper decorum on the Senate floor as Cruz is finding out. Ironically, even Cruz's buddy, Texas Senior Senator Cornyn, did not come to his defense. Many thanks to CNN for this excellent report.

If McConnell lied, he SHOULD be called on it... on the floor of the Senate and everywhere else.

Just two or three old bulls on the senate who care more about their careers than what's best for the American people.

This coming from a democrat.

I'm sorry if Cruz' comments about McConnell hurt your feelings.

We didn't know you cared.

yeah like the young bulls like Cruz care deeply whats good for america, who are you trying to kid.
Cruz cares for the same thing Mc Connel cares about the WILL of his mulitmillion dollar donors and thats it. They care about what will get the elected and re elected.

I think Cruz does care.

by speaking out he only hurts his political career inside the beltway where politicians are expected to keep quiet and play the game.

or do you think you're the only person who really cares?

Poor Calgary Ted went from rising star to pariah almost overnight.

Why, because McConnell and McCain are pissed at him?

I guess its only the voters who like Cruz.

hmm....Trump is getting a lot of attention in his presidential run because of similar behavior. Anyone think this is Cruz's shot at trying the same method to gain a reputation as not caring about the establishment?

That would be the same establishment he is a part of and that his wife's employer owns? (that's Goldman-Sachs if you were wondering)

NOBODY takes Ted seriously anymore. Well okay, you and another 0.9% of the American public. ;-)
