I was kinda hoping Cruz would come out on top but no more !
Lemme tell ya. I'm definitely no fan of Mitch McConnell, but Cruz showed his colors when he called McConnell out as a liar. Now, I know McConnell's a liar but Cruz called him a liar after it became apparent that the TPP (Obamatrade) bill that Cruz had been pushing so hard was going to be very unpopular with conservatives.
Cruz worked with Paul Ryan on the bill and even wrote an article singing its praises for the Wall Street Journal.
Then, when it looked like it was going to lay a big egg, he said the only reason he was for it was because McConnell had lied to him about it,...called him a liar on the Senate floor.
He knew that McConnell was unpopular with the Tea Party bunch anyway, so he used him to dump the mess that he had made on.
Like I said, I'm no fan of McConnell, but when you back up and look at how Cruz played that situation you have to conclude that he's a snake of the worst kind.
