    Cruz may know more than a "blogger." Trouble is, he also thinks he knows more than Mitch McConnell --& every other Republican Senator.

        @mattklewis Yes, their sterling record of "getting things done" like Medicare Part D, TARP, NCLB, and other "conservative" programs.

        @mattklewis no but he voted against it. @McConnellPress voted to fund both. So what's wrong with fighting for what you campaign on?

        @mattklewis McConnell committed to "root and branch" re Ocare once in charge? Promises matter, and many made to base.

        .@mattklewis I am tired of peeps talking about 'what he knows' - the GOP sold the American peeps down the river as if there was no election.

        @ajbruno14 @mattklewis That's what it's become. How great would it be to find someone strong enough to change that? Not Bush or Clinton.
