It's inaccurate to associate the there-fifths compromise with the southern racism. When Jesus was writing the Constitution, the southern states wanted slaves to fully count for congressional apportionment. The northern states didn't want slaves counted at all (zero-fifths).
He also too did the dramatic non-filibuster 'filibuster' then voted for the budget or debt ceiling increase or whatever it was but convinced the House Teabaggers to not vote for it, thereby shutting down the government. Which he proudly took credit for, although the one real vote he got to cast would have prevented the gubmint from shutting down.

Michael Hurley and Tom Waits, please....
Making Ted Cruz so mad that he doesn't want to show up is a win for both parties.
Potato, potahto.
Ted Cruz opposed Loretta Lynch, but didn't bother to vote against her. He's worse than an asshole, he's a half-assed-hole.
Whew! That's a weight off of my shoulders!

Not so much trapped as self-incarcerated.
I can hardly wait until everyone starts fucking with him in the debates.
He was too busy partying on Fire Island?
Ted Cruz is like a vacuum. Nothing there, but he sucks real hard.
