Seriously? Coming from Cruz, this is hilarious. Did anybody do more to make Congress poisonous? And this is certainly not because he was lacking competition.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said in a recent interview that the filibuster rule change made in the Senate on Thursday will hurt the chamber's ability to pass legislation.
"It will poison the atmosphere of the Senate," Cruz said in an interview with Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital with Al Hunt," a transcript of which was posted online Friday afternoon.
Cruz compared the move by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) to President Obama's messaging on the Affordable Care Act.
"It's yet another abuse of power by the Democrats. And, frankly, it's continuing the same pattern we've seen with Obamacare," Cruz said. "Harry Reid has said over and over again this year that he was not going to break the Senate rules to change them, and he just broke his word."

Now, I do hope his quote means that it "Will Poison The Atmosphere Of The Senate" for Republicans. A little taste of their own medicine for once.
