"But it also brings up a second possibility, that if the Senate is inching slightly closer to the middle, it’s because many of the Republicans are beginning to reject Tea Party extremism due to their hatred of Ted Cruz....On the other hand, Ted Cruz has memorized the Constitution."
=========================
Gail, as you know, Congress controls very little today:
"The vast majority of “laws” governing the United States are not passed by Congress but are issued as regulations, crafted largely by thousands of unnamed, unreachable bureaucrats."...

Ted Cruz is America's best hope:

“The obstruction, McCain said Thursday, threatens to “paralyze the process.”
Excellent. Now, can we paralyze immigration reform?

The obstruction, McCain said Thursday, threatens to “paralyze the process.”
When “the process” is as corrupt and counter-productive as this Senate’s, paralysis is the best we can hope for.
Keep doing what you’re doing, Senator Cruz. This Arizona voter is grateful that at least one member of the Senate is doing his job and protecting Americans’ interests.

Ms. Collins, you probably know the Tea Party isn't "extremist." If your pal George Soros knows this, certainly you do. He says the Tea Party are "very decent people" who've just been mislead on "taxes and regulation:"
Feb. 2011, George Soros on CNN said the Tea Party are 'very decent people' but 'are being used and deceived' into believing the US needs to reduce taxes and regulation:

Alan Dershowitz said Ted Cruz was one of the smartest students
ever to go through his classes at Harvard Law after graduating with
honors from Princeton.
“While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic Society’s Debate Panel and won the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship and the 1992 North American Debating Championship.[15] In 1992, he was named U.S. National Speaker of the Year and Team of the Year (with his debate partner, David Panton).[16] Cruz was also a semi-finalist at the 1995 World Universities Debating Championship.”
“Cruz served as a law clerk to William Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States, and J. Michael Luttig of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.[23][3] Cruz was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States.”
Also impressive: “Cruz attended high school at Faith West Academy in Katy, Texas, and then graduated from Second Baptist High School in Houston.”
Heh! Cruz is not just a missile, he’s a dozen or so stealth bombers and fighter jets fully armed.
What we hopefully have here is a man of principle, courage and conviction paired with a good brain untainted, and undamaged by leftist ideology.

But, wait, there’s more:
“Cruz then attended Harvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1995. While at Harvard Law, Cruz was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review, and executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review. As a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, “Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant.”
This Ted fella is not a fake.

"The Office of Management and Budget quietly released its draft 2013 Report to Congress on the Benefits and Costs of Regulations on Friday, April 19, covering regulatory activity through the end (September 30) of fiscal year 2012. Recall that, as the presidential election approached, the White House was widely reported to be restraining the regulatory agencies out of concern for the state of the economy. Now that the results are tallied, however, there is little evidence of restraint."...

Ted is the kind of politician we desperately need, if we ever want
to get back to basics, and be fiscally responsible. John McCain is a
blithering idiot, who wants everyone to get along, at the expense of the
tax payers.

SOROS: "Look, I think the people in the Tea Party are very decent people, hard-working. They've been hit by a force that -- that comes from somewhere which they can't fully understand, and -- and they are being misled. And they are misled by people who are using it for their selfish purposes, namely to remove regulations and -- and reduce taxation.
So reduce taxation and regulation,

P.S. Ms. Collins, just a reminder, there are numerous 'fake' Tea Party groups. When making categorical judgments about the Tea Party, it's important to keep that in mind, and make sure you're judging real ones. Co-opting was the establishment's main tool in diffusing the TP. For example, the Tea Party's original and remaining motivation isn't social issues. There are Tea Party groups who talk about those issues which is fine, but that isn't the Tea Party's main focus. As you know from recent news accounts, the embedded political class, both R and D, considered it imperative to silence the Tea Party. The most powerful forces of the federal government were used to silence them over a period of years.
Ms. Collins, what exactly was the Tea Party saying that was so bad that that they had to be silenced? Do you know?
- and they are being used and deceived."
