Excellent!
I did not catch that... I don't care if his exercise was futile. I like a man/woman who stands on principle.

I was half dozing through the night while streaming CSPAN.

He did this more than once.
Tweeted about it every time I caught it.

I'm wondering if he was the Congressman Harlow was speaking of in his live event? From the obvious passion with which Sen Cruz read the excerpts I have a feeling he was.

    Okay. So I missed Harmon. I knew it didn't look right but didn't know why. As for the other, Sen is an acceptable abbreviation for Senator, esp. when trying for brevity and speedier typing. Pbbbbth.
