hell yeah.

Bet he has a fundraising email ready to raise cash from his performance today. That's all these 'pub senators are doing. Getting some good zingers and dog whistles on tape so they can raise campaign cash based on how they "opposed Biden's activist judicial nominees who want to destroy America as we know it...."

I watched Cruz's questioning live. While ridiculous, get used to it, because the Virginia governor race last year set the template for what we'll see in 2022 and 2024. Cruz is simply laying the foundation.

Honestly, when you look at the rest of the  probable lineup Trump is not so bad.

Cruz?
Cotton?
Pompeo?
Desantis?

At least Trump is funny.

Does Mitt have a chance or is the Republican Party fully committed to owning the libs?

No, the party is too fractured and the majority is fully aligned MAGA. Sasse also has no shot unless the MAGA vote tears itself apart.

Isn't that likely though?  Trump is going to attack cruz and desantis.

All the pointless grandstanding is basically a tacit endorsement of the supremely qualified KBJ. Obviously no real issues with the nomination but it's an opportunity for media spotlight so he feels he's gotta say something

100p. The Ted Cruzes are dog whistling their base but the dog whistle I’m hearing is that they have zero legitimate complaints about putting her on the bench.

The nomination is not in question. The hearings are simply an opportunity for shameless grandstanding and fundraising for 'pub senators. A few weeks ago, I had hear that McConnell didn't want the hearing to degenerate into this but here we are.

Ted would probably still grandstand just for the sake of grandstanding.

Yeah I think at least this prevents Ted from project veritas-ing the whole thing.

#myguy Ben Sasse making this exact point. TV cameras cause senators to act like jackasses:

That's 2 solid points on common ground'ing:  Ted Cruz sucks and televised hearings enable bullshit grandstanding!
