They’re going to give us a spectacular and classy gov’t shutdown. Then they’ll get an equally spectacular drubbing at the polls in '16. Depending on length of shutdown, maybe even the House. Their numbers fell far enough during the last shutdown to make that a possibility.

I hope you’re right. If Boehner passes a funding bill with Dem votes and avoids a shutdown voters may not punish them next year.

“You want to know how much each of you terrify Washington?” Cruz told the crowd of conservatives at the conference at Washington, D.C. “Yesterday, John Boehner was Speaker of the House.”

You still won’t be President, Ted. The ‘outsiders’ will get the numbers boost for this ‘act of bravery’, Ted. You are an useful idiot Ted. If it were you and Frank Underwood, Ted, guess who’s winning?

These people sure seem proud of being terrifying.

Cruz speaking at the “Bad-Values Voters Summit” illustrates how low the GOP has fallen to the GOTP. And for one rare moment I agree with Rep. Peter King conclusion about a significant portion of his conference.

“I have this refrain about the monkey house at the zoo. When you first enter into the monkey house at the zoo, you think, ‘Oh my god this place stinks!’ And then after you’re there for 20 minutes you think, ‘it’s not so bad’ and after you’re there for an hour it doesn’t smell at all. And anyone entering the monkey house freshly thinks, ‘this stinks!’ You’ve been living in the monkey house.” (Quoth Tim Gunn, from the 2008 finale of Project Runway)

The Monkey House will be on full display.

Republicans terrifying Republicans into resignations. What funny fun!

Why not just have knife fights in the cloakroom?

Oh, but Boehner’s replacement will be so much more willing to dance to the tea tune. He (whoever) may shut down the government just for a lark.

The election to select a new Speaker should be a fun warm-up for the GOP primary.

And here I thought Trump was the prime example of a sore winner.

"Yesterday, John Boehner was Speaker of the House.” - Ted “The Pride of Canada” Cruz.

He still is, you raving bag of meat. And he’s got six more weeks in which to “thank” all his conservative ‘friends’ for all their ‘support’.

This day-to-day baffoonery of the republican party is almost the best reality show on-the-air ever! Trump humor and Cruz humor is pretty much indicative of a landslide 2016 election and then we’ll see who’s laughing. Keep it up, popcorn industry will experience a boom.
