[@Rosemary-up1ql]

I agree.

[@Peaceful_Gojira]

@@gloriaherron4582 The reason Cruz is cutting them off is because they are burning his time to get to the truth, by restating something they've already stated. They're stone-walling, everyone who comes on and is asked questions ALWAYS does this. Watch other videos of other senators questioning the people who actually provide GOOD and CONCISE answers. When a person who is asked a simple yes or no answer definitively provides a simple yes or no, just about every time: they are there to serve the people of the country, NOT a partisan rule (one party's agenda ONLY). They are being either bipartisan, or are actually there to tell the truth, and serve/assist the senators in serving the American people. So, with this in mind: when a question so direct, oftentimes a yes or no question, is asked by the senators and the answer is met with a broken record response (stonewalling), then you just know there's more to this than is being said. And the frustrating part is when the questions being asked are so direct, so infuriatingly bad that they just continue to sit there with a prideful look on their face like they don't need to explain anything they did in their actions. Guess what, you are in the SENATE right now, and the PEOPLE'S REPRESENTATIVES are there to ask you TO CLARIFY and EXPLAIN your actions...and they have the audacity to sit there and stonewall or NOT answer the question by restating the obvious, or even as Cruz keeps putting it: filibuster (which was what the chairman Durbin was doing, whether intentional or not). THAT is why Cruz get's annoyed and just cuts them off, because HE KNOWS what they are going to say when they DO NOT provide a simple "yes/no" or even just a simple explanation/answer to a rather important and frankly unsettling question. That's the vernacular and strategy of the left (as of lately): don't answer any questions, just reassure and restate the obvious -lies- facts. EDIT: I also don't know why you're commenting here if all you intend to do is slander Cruz on a video all about Cruz. Trolling? Confused? Idk, but you should probably reconsider your strategy, for some friendly advice. Be safe, though, whoever you are...sincerely, be safe and well.

Ted go on a Cruise, when people in Texas are freezing and dying is a demonic follower of the Devil Trump. No one is as evil as both of them. There is no truth in them. My challenge to Trump worshipers is to read the New Testament from John to Revelation. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. The good news is God does not legislate salvation. It is our choice whether to be saved or lost, who we marry, whether we steal or murder, commit adultery or even abort a child. It is our choice to commit good or evil. What consequences we suffer is our punishment or reward. God never forces His children to be saved. He offers unconditional love and peace. Jesus is always there to pick up the pieces and put our life back together again. All we need to do is humble ourselves, know God’s Word and ask for forgiveness, because all have sinned and in need of salvation.

A chairman shouldn't be a democrat or republican. We need a non-biased representative. *This is unprofessional*

[@valicereames3090]

The only way to break a tie is to have more than one decision to make. The decision to limit the number of parties listed on any ballot to only two was bad when it was mandated. I understand the frustration of having another party with which to contend, however we had much easier laws to follow before that bad decision was enacted. Let US require no less than two parties to be included on any ballot.

[@fromaggiovagiola9128]

Technically they are not in charge. They are a fraud. This is because of Mail-in voting, same day registration and no voter ID.

[@HisWordisLife4U]

Technically forcing people in a democracy to be in a two party system is not democracy at all. We need to abolish the two party system and abolish registering as either a democrat or republican or ANY party affiliation. It flags all the people who want to fix the votes to their advantage...and party affiliation is no one's business. We need to vote based on the best candidate platform, not whether or not they are a democrat or republican.
