With President's Trump's recent Lurch to the Left, some of us, not ALL, damnit, are wondering if perhaps there is any difference between the two. JS
Of course, GORSUCH, because Cruz demanded it for the condition of his endorsement, we wouldn't have gotten Leo Leonard of the Federalist Society recommending Gorsuch to Trump (on his second list).
But Ryan and McConnell have proven for awhile they only fight themselves for re electability.
PS: I don't think Cruz would have drained the swamp either, but he would have made it a lot more uncomfortable for the creatures therein and more importantly He didn't campaign on that.
