I will take guys like Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz etc over guys like McConnell and Ryan any day.

I qualified my statement as it pertains to Cruz. You got to remember (because the senators sure don't) Republicans face an entirely united front as presented by Dems. I would be just a bit worried if I were them, that not dealing with the people's business might just cost a few Republican seats. And I guarantee if Dems get the majority back, there will be no prisoners taken. Ryan is a RINO but the new health care legislation is stalled in the Senate.

Though I will say the thing that gets lost in all this is the disservice visited on the people and their Republican representation by Dems in the first place. You wouldn't believe how many retirees have gone back into the workforce just so they can afford health insurance. And the thousands of doctors who've been lost because the mandate forced them to close their practice. And the millions of people who have been forced to stay home rather than get the medical attention needed owing to "skyrocketing" treatment costs. It's a mess for which there is no easy out brought upon us by Democrats. Nonetheless the ball is in the Republican's court and they MUST step up.
