Election Day isn't until tomorrow, but "Ted" Cruz is already pledging to wreak havoc in a Republican-controlled Senate.
And we cats mean wreak. As lefties and Democrats, we are appalled by the prospect of the Senate defunding Obamacare, rolling back environmental protections and restricting reproductive rights. But the guys and gals in the storied upper chamber who have "Rs" next to their names should be worried, too. Because "Ted" is not going to play nice.
In fact, in true teabag fashion, he won't even say he'll support Mitch McConnell for Harry Reid's job. What, promote his Minority Leader? Tish-tosh, says "Ted."
So we cats are left wondering what sort of fratricidal bloodbath the GOP will have on its hands should it take the Senate tomorrow (or in December, or January). On one side will be McConnell and his "establishment" cronies like McCain, Cornyn, Corker and Alexander. On the other will be the right-wing nutjobs — Cruz, Lee, Johnson and the rest of the clown car. Who are they going to run against Mitch instead? Deb Fisher? (She'd be the radical choice: She's a baby teabag, a woman, and nobody knows her.)
But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Let us simply say that, should things not go our way in the next 24 hours, we cats will console ourselves by saying, "Let the games begin."
After all, don't forget: This "Ted" Cruz stuff wouldn't even be happening if not for — you guessed it — John McCain. It was Sarah Palin who parachuted into Texas to boost Cruz in the 2012 Republican primary. By giving Palin a national profile — and canonization by the whackos — McCain has ironically ensured that the Senate in which he has served for 27 years will soon descend into chaos. We cats HISS, but we also PURR.
