Watch Sen. Ted Cruz filibuster on the Senate floor. He rose this afternoon in his fight to defund Obamacare. I am sure that the Republican establishment is choking on their filet mignon, but too bad. They should perhaps take notes, because the people love it.

Twitter lit up with tweets such as this one:

Not only was #KeepCruzing trending on Twitter, but supporters were changing their pictures to several versions of the hashtag. One such tweet and pic is as follows:
