The supposed filibuster Ted Cruz is performing right now is not a filibuster, and it was pre-scheduled according to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s communications director.
Fun fact: Senator Cruz pre-negotiated the terms of his #fakefilibuster with Senator Reid yesterday. Not exactly a Mr. Smith moment.

Tomorrow’s vote on a continuing resolution will occur regardless of how long Ted Cruz keeps talking. And that’s all he’s doing — talking.
Rather poorly, I might add. Cruz has referenced Nazis, green eggs and ham, Denny’s, Whitecastle, the “intelligentsia,” and the Moon.
