Yea, the asswipe attempted to shut down the government again, and as a result Obama gets to have votes on a dozen nominees, which will all be approved before this lame duck session comes to an end.

Cruz is also toast where it comes to the 2016 primaries, and has become a pariah, as well as a laughing stock, in the Senate. Looks like Jeb Bush may end up in the driver's seat for the Republican nomination.

Buh bye, Ted, and thank you, McConnell, for keeping your promise to keep the government open.
