Bingo. As Twitchy reported Tuesday, Senate leadership (term used very loosely) “compromised” to avoid Sen. Reid’s “nuclear option” threat. You see, silly Republicans are to confirm Obama nominees in order to find out who they are. Vetting? That’s for suckas!
Sen. Cruz, who recently shredded Sen. Reid over Obamacare with one tweet, called it like it is:
Today, re: the so-called nuclear option, Senate Republicans preserved the right to surrender in the future.
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) July 16, 2013
Bam.
Laura Ingraham, always a fierce fighter, also took the GOP to task.
Good news? @SenReid & @BarackObama are happy that the GOP came to its senses on confirmations to avoid unpleasant rule change.

Wish my prediction was wrong. "@billbowers_: @IngrahamAngle You called it this morning on F&F. The Republicans got rolled."

And she offered up a simple idea for future spineless Republican surrender:

Yes, or just an "Uncle!" tweet from #SenMcConnell." @davidharsanyi: why meet at all? Complete (GOP) surrender can be done via email." #weak

Double bam.
Out: Meetings. In: Tweet-caving.
