Durbin is well aware of the situation, not to mention this was a "please proceed" and make yourself look stupid and racist moment.

Can you imagine the mindset of a person who watches this and thinks Cruz is who they want representing them?

It's so frustrating that the Repubs can do as they please and Dems following the rules look so weak.
This wasn't Durbin clashing with Cruz as equals. Cruz and other despicable repubs before him just steamroll him.

Durbin doesn’t have the ability to cut the microphone and have them yanked out of the room.
