I'm trying to get my nerve up to watch the replay. The Fabulous Ted Cruz appeared to tell us what's wrong with the nation.
I just puked a little in my mouth.

"Newly elected Texas Sen. Ted Cruz served notice Sunday he likely wont be voting to approve former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel as secretary of defense if the president nominates him as expected. Word is President Barack Obama could nominate Hagel to head the Pentagon this week. And the prospects have ignited criticism from Republicans who say Hagels soft on Iran and no friend of Israel. It is very difficult to imagine a circumstance in which I could could support him, Cruz said on Fox News Sunday. He has consistently advocated weakness with respect to our enemies, with respect to the nation of Iran
Weakness in a secretary of defense invites conflict because bullies dont respect weakness.
