Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was hoping the midterms were going to shake out differently.
According to a report from The Daily Caller, the Lone Star State Senator blasted Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) during the most recent episode of his podcast The Verdict, saying he’s so “pissed off” he cannot even see straight, Hannity reports.
“Well, Ben, let me start off by saying I am so pissed off, I cannot even see straight,” Cruz said.
“We had an extraordinary opportunity. We had a generational opportunity. This should have been a fundamental landslide election. We should have won the House and the Senate. We should have a 30, 40, 50 vote majority in the House. We should have 53, 54, 55 Republicans in the Senate,” Cruz continued.
“[I]f you look at this last cycle, Mitch McConnell pulled the money out of Arizona. We could have won — won Arizona. We nearly won Arizona and abandoning Blake Masters was indefensible,” Cruz said.
“Explain to me, Senator, why in a race where the polling showed that we had a legitimate chance of winning there. Why did he pull out that money from Masters who desperately needed it?” co-host Ben Ferguson asked Cruz.
“Because Masters said he would vote against Mitch McConnell, and so Mitch would rather be leader than have a Republican majority. If there’s a Republican who can win, who’s not gonna support Mitch, the truth of the matter is he’d rather the Democrat win. So he pulled all the money out of Arizona,” Cruz responded.

Nah. All the chachomim have told us that owning smartphones is the number one avaira in the history of the world. Crime of the century. Rasha mirusha. Cause of the shidduch crisis. If not for smartphones Moshiach would of already been here. The reason people die from cancer is because some businessman has a smartphone.
Mitch McConnell disgraced himself by not supporting the black Joe Pinion for the Senate seat in New York. He had a very legitimate shot of beating the leader of the US Senate Chuck Schumer! McConnell is a stinkin RINO, even worse than the Bush’s.
if there is a guilty party its those who allowed so many MAGA nominees – popular by the way among many of our communities
McConnell has done a superb subtle job keeping the multiple factions of the Republican party moving together.
Gotta say, never thought I would see that word being used in a headline on a frum website.
See? You learn new things each day.
Totally agree.
This man should be vice president.
McConnell can not seem to get the grave back notes of the day.
Growing with him lacks fear. Cruz picked a dream to be classical impressed. He is not trick, tower or dinner disgrace.
Reasonable men are coming. Good to see turns start fresh.
Explain this is English please
The expression of anger that you chose to include in the headline is considered a rude vulgarity, and not befitting a frum website.
It should have been starred, as in “pi**ed”.
Get over it. There are a lot worse things in life.
