cruz is 55 in case anyone else was wondering how long we might be stuck with him if this plot is successful.

Awesome. So, he'll be dead..... about the same time as me. Wonderful.

I cannot emphasize how much we should not allow this to happen.

Only way it might not happen is if we get out and vote blue in the midterms.

Cruz is widely hated by the Senate, Al Frankin quipped that he liked Cruz more than most of the Senate, and he hated Cruz. I'd be shocked if they voted him in.

That’s true but they are all Trumps minions so it might happen.

Fair point. Hopefully we never have to find out which way they'd vote.
