The current situation Cruz has created for his GOP colleagues captures the way that irresponsibility, the evasion of responsibility has become the centerpiece of GOP party ideology. The caucus is happy to allow Dems to do on their own what every GOP member knows MUST ...
2/ be done: pay the country's bills. They're willing to allow it if they don't have to touch the process. No fingerprints. But big preening dickwad Ted comes along and says I'm going to object. Now he's created a situation where 10 GOPs have to help overrule dickwad Ted.
3/ But it's proving super hard to find 10 because voting for what's technically called "cloture" - forcing Ted to sit the fuck down is in GOP logic basically just voting to raise the debt ceiling since it makes it possible for Democrats to vote to do it.
4/ So preening Ted is making 10 colleagues walk the plank into the deep vast ocean of RINOdom. Now remember, all 100 senators know the debt ceiling must be raised. The entire thing is an exercise if not taking responsibility for what you know has to happen.
5/ But here in the guys of preening dickwad Ted Cruz it's the snake of GOP preening recklessness eating itself.
