Ted Cruz added fuel to the fire by saying he’d heard “early reports” that Boehner cut a deal with Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi to continue funding some of President Barack Obama’s most controversial measures.

“I will say, the early reports are discouraging. If it is correct that the speaker, before he resigns, has cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi to fund the Obama administration for the rest of its tenure, to fund Obamacare, to fund executive amnesty, to fund Planned Parenthood, to fund implementation of this Iran deal — and then, presumably, to land in a cushy K Street job after joining with the Democrats to implement all of President Obama’s priorities, that is not the behavior one would expect of a Republican speaker of the House,” Cruz told reporters at the conservative Values Voter Summit in Washington.

Just think of all of the grief they’ve given you, Ted! Give it back to them is spades! Karma is a biotch!

BTW this seems to be illegal - what would stop a communist like Obama from colluding with congressional cohorts to fund an entire 4 year term? He wouldn’t have to worry about congress at all.

God bless Ted Cruz. He is the only candidate willing to call out these traitors Boehner and McConnell. No other candidate running for president has the will to do so.
