For the second day in a row.
Via Washington Examiner:
Freshman Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, suggested to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., that he no longer represents the majority of Senate Republicans on the issue of increasing the debt ceiling — and he offered a bet to prove it.
“There may be more ‘wacko birds’ in the Senate than is suspected,” Cruz said on the Senate floor, recalling the name that McCain once applied Cruz and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., after their talking filibuster against President Obama’s drone policy.
To test the hypothesis, Cruz suggested that McCain circulate a letter to the GOP conference stating that Republicans support allowing Senate Democrats to raise the debt limit with a simple majority.
“I believe he will find that his representation to this body that it is only a minority of Republicans that oppose that is not accurate,” Cruz said.
