“That should pose an easy choice for every Republican senator,” Cruz told reporters.
It may indeed, and he is likely to lose."
Right, the assessment stands - WaPo is in Disbelief That Ted Cruz Feels Accountable to People Who Elected Him, Not GOP Leadership Or The MSM

This should be a big hit on the evening news today: Republicans hold a fake filibuster of their own bill. Does it get any dumber than this?

I am wondering if his awful performance will match with this one.

Who is clueless?

Investor's Business Daily (Sept 9, 2013) compiled a list of 258 companies that have shed work hours, jobs or taken other steps to avoid the costs of ObamaCare - it is now up to 301.

ObamaCare Employer Mandate: A List Of Cuts To Work Hours, Jobs - Investors.com

Who is clueless? These companies are not:

Trader Joe's
Seaworld
Walmart
Land's End
Regal Entertainment
New England Motor Freight
Emory Healthcare Company
34 colleges and universities
Consol Energy
Murray Energy
Dana Holding Corporation

to name a few
