Reid's strategy, if Bolton's reporting is correct, would also preclude any filibuster, even the conventional 30-hour "debate,"<br />where presumably Cruz, Lee, et al., would get to throw in their two cents, even if they weren't allowed to run hours-long harangues.<br /><br />Tailgunner Ted saw this coming all along &, as you note, said so. This aggravated House wingers, but that's because they don't know Senate rules, & had no idea Harry Reid could save Ted from having to go down with the good Ship Defund. Ted can then go about the country complaining about arcane rules that silenced him and other true patriots bent on saving Americans from the freedom-robbing burden of obtaining health insurance, blah-blah. <br /><br />And the winner is -- Ted Cruz. <br /><br />Marie Burns<br />marieburnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551898556011521804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-18122496507171291852013-09-20T03:24:28.987-04:002013-09-20T03:24:28.987-04:00Any possibility that the House GOP leadership let ...Any possibility that the House GOP leadership let the defund CR go through precisely so they could watch Cruz bat responsibility away like it was a mosquito on a summer night? #11DChessAddictJoseph Nobleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883621501775664191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-59819093337060177902013-09-19T20:40:56.076-04:002013-09-19T20:40:56.076-04:00per the Brian Beutler story:

That's like thinking a "crash course" in pugilism will help you prepare before crawling into a cage match with an 8-year UFC champion.<br />He's gonna make 'em cry and wet themselves at the same time.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16773453361594062682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-76921627219195325542013-09-19T14:40:45.461-04:002013-09-19T14:40:45.461-04:00Steve,
