Is there really that much difference between a sleeping Ted Cruz and an awake Ted Cruz? I’m surprised that anyone noticed.

Eh, he’s done stuff like this before to just try and own the libs. Playing with his phone and stuff. More of the same crap.

More people hate Ted Cruz when he’s awake.

People have been sleeping in the House of Lords in the UK for centuries. Cruz is just keeping old traditions alive, despite justified attempts to end them.

The answer is to gently persuade him that if he can’t stay awake then maybe it is time for him to retire and allow someone more capable to do his job.

Alcohol is not allowed on the floor here, is the difference.

I think Cruz’ constituency might like him better if he was a lush.

You’d think Mike Lindell would’ve slipped in to lend support by this time.

Given that the Republicans have made it clear they see their jobs as not doing anything (in Congress, anyways), sleeping actually shows he’s qualified for the job…

We should encourage him to take the next step.

Wouldn’t he be more comfortable sleeping in his own bed in his own house? How much time do you actually need to spend in the Senate to get paid?

I dunno, have you looked at him? I don’t think he has any self-respect either.

Sleeping Ted. I think Democrats now could backfire the Sleeping Joe slur now.

I bet he faked it, just to trigger people.

If he’s sitting there, and pretending to sleep, because he thinks it’ll get him elected president…

He’s such a sad goblin.

Even if he does get elected president, he’s still such a sad, sad goblin

Snoozin’ Cruz?

Go to bed Ted? Would make for a nice chant at rallies.

Well, to remove him, you’d need the votes of 2/3 of the members of the senate, which means all the democrats, both independents, and 17 republicans, so…none of it. None of the time. He could never show up again and not lose a cent. Also, given how hated he is by everyone, they might be glad to be rid of him for such a low price.
