What McCain is thinking, what Karl Rove would have done during great moments in history

What McCain is thinking:
Who the hell is this Cruz guy?
A freshman?
Who the hell does he think he is?
I’ve been here forever.  I was co-host of Hardball.  I lost to the king in 08.  LISTEN TO ME!!!
Why the hell won’t he reach across the aisle like me?
I’ve reached across the aisle so many times I spend most my time on the Dope side?
His unwillingness to do so makes the rest of us look like a bunch of capitulating d-bags.
Chrissy Mathews still like me better though.
I need to reach across the aisle and condemn Cruz for something he said at the 19 and half hour mark of his speech.
Hold on, I’ve got a straight flush going in video poker.  Damn a spade.

Karl Rove tactics:
If Karl had been president during the Civil War, our southern border would be secure because it would be with the Confederate States of America.  It is the CSA who would be securing it to keep welfare bums from the north out.  The Confederate border would continue south somewhere past the Monterey peninsula.
In Korea, Karl would have retreated to the Pusan Perimeter, then surrendered.
In WWI, we’d still be in the trenches.
In WWII, he’d create fortress England.  Cede the rest of Europe and Africa to Hitler.
If Karl were running the rescue effort at the Kenyan mall, he’d be arguing not to do anything until the terrorists ran of ammo or hostages, which ever came first.
If Karl were the skipper of the American boat in the latest America’s Cup competition, Karl would have just quit.  Why waste the energy and risk injury to the crew for such a lost cause?
If Karl were the head coach of any team on Alabama’s schedule, he’d forfeit.

When studying tactics at Marine Corps Amphibious Warfare School, we learned that bold moves often carry the day in combat.  Also, never miss an opportunity to strike the enemy.  Also, favor a plan that gives you more than one way to win.  Also, keep unrelenting pressure on the enemy, even in retreat, even when weak, disrupt the enemy advance with spoiling attacks of your own.  Ted Cruz is doing all of the above.

Karl Rove and McCain are in headlong retreat running scared as fast as they can with no plan to make a stand anywhere.  At least Ted Cruz is willing to stand in the middle of the axis of the Dope advance and give them the finger.  When they are finally run down, Rove and McCain are just hoping for a gig serving coffee and doughnuts to the king and his court.  Cruz is a hero.  Rove, McCain and the rest are…well, capitulating d-bags.

Making first ever calls to Indiana’s two senators Coats and Donnelly.
Message:
Vote no on cloture for the CR.  If Robertscare goes forward, Washington D.C. ruling class had better not grant themselves or their staff any favors, waivers or subsides.  If Robertscare is so great, sign up and suffer the consequences you are forcing on the rest of us.
