Dumb, dumb, dumb , dumb, dumb. Ted Cruz has got to be one of the stupidest people ever elected under the GOP banner. He is poison for the party. Him and the Tea Party wingnuts need to be expelled.
And Cruz is purported to be "brilliant," but he's certainly never shown any proof of that as a senator.

When you kick the fundamentalists and Tea Party extremists to the curb. Until then, you will be beholden to their Bronze Age mentality in order to gain their votes. I understand the GOP is a coalition party and you need them to win, but they will continue to drag the Republican party down until they are shown the door. When the GOP has rid itself of these backward cretins the party will be able to begin to attract back many moderate Republicans who have fled the party due to the increasing and out-weighted control of these far rightwingers. As a progressive, I welcome that day.
Nobody missed getting their S.S. payments. S.S. is mandatory and not a part of the budget process.
It does appear, unless something is done by Congress, that those receiving SS disability payments will see a significant cut in their monthly benefits:

I'm now a Democrat (who started out as a Republican). But, when the Tea Party first came around I thought it was embarrassing how the GOP kissed up to them and surrendered to them. Either be a Republican or have the courage to go out and form your own independent party. At best, for the Republicans, the Tea Party is a very short-term gain. In the long run, it's disaster.

When I was growing up, we had a neighbor who was truly brilliant. He and his family lived in a non-converted barn for at least 2 decades.
Brilliant people don't always have any common sense.
I began my voting life as a Republican, then became a Democrat. But until the Tea Party came along I would occasionally vote for Republicans. Now I never do. And that is true for so many people out there who are in the somewhat independent "middle".

What Republican policies did you favor in order to vote for them?
