After a respite, Cruz again questioning McConnell’s strategies

After a respite, Cruz again questioning McConnell’s strategies

By Alexander Bolton - 04/30/18 06:00 AM EDT  

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who has been more of a team player since losing the 2016 GOP presidential primary to Donald Trump, is reemerging as an agitator in the GOP conference.

Cruz is questioning Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) strategy on the GOP's 2018 agenda, which is to steer clear of partisan bills that don’t have Democratic support.

Cruz, who is up for reelection this year and faces a spirited challenger in Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D), is leading a group of restive conservatives who want to vote on a budget resolution that would set up a special process — known as reconciliation — to allow the GOP to pass ambitious legislation, such as an ObamaCare repeal, with a simple majority.

Glad Cruz is on the Trump train and will endorse Trump in 2020.

From the Article:

“We have 254 days until Jan. 3, 2019. I believe we need to do everything humanly possible to deliver on the promises we made to voters and to score major substantive victories for the American people while we have majorities in both houses and a Republican president,” Cruz said last week.

“If we do that, we maximize the chances of keeping majorities in both houses because we’re enacting policies that make a real and positive difference in people’s lives,” he added.

Cruz worries the time for passing lasting legislative reforms might be limited given the widespread perception that Democrats have a good chance of winning back the House next year. Those concerns are shared by many conservatives in the House, who communicate regularly with Cruz."

He is right, you have to strike when the iron is hot.
The chance may not come again for a while.

Yes, hopefully he can hold Trump's feet to the fire to start fulfilling his campaign promises.

Exactly.  Once again Ted is laying out an example of he's doing what's best for country. Going after McConnell isn't in his best interest right now as Cruz needs $$$ desperately down in TX -- the DEMS are outspending him.  He's not exactly McConnell's favorite person.

In the past 50 years I can not think of one republican not named McCain who has done more damage to the conservative agenda than this slug McConnell.

Wish he would get the hell out.

Cruz has plenty of money.  He just needs to translate that into votes.

Yes!! I am glad Ted is not laying low and pushing against McConnell (what a wimp).

This thread should get a lot of attention because you said the Cruz word.

There will be hell to pay.

So Cruz doing the same thing he did where McConnell is concerned BEFORE Trump was president is now considered "jumping on the Trump train"?

Can you make a bet that is less than zero?
