Lots of 'conservatives' held their tongues on Bhoner. And Mitch. And the rest of the liberals infesting the GOP top to bottom. And when those of us who spoke up about not sending them back to DC, we were met with a hail of "We gotta win no matter what!!!" to keep them in office.
Today we live in a world where the people we just 'HAD" to win with have sided 100% with Obama, massively increased the debt and done all in their power to wreck the 2016 election. Hopefully all the 'No matter What" people take a good look at the result of their hard work.
For current Cruz fans, these are the pols trashing him since his election to the senate. For Trump fans, these are the people playing their behind the scene games that we all oppose regardless of who we support. Actions have consequences and these are consequences we collectively brought on ourselves through the idiocy of lesser evil voting.
