Sen. Cruz may not have the votes he needs to defund Obamacare.
But that’s NOT the point.
The point is he is in there every day fighting the fight that needs to be fought.
The Democrats view politics as war by other means. It’s time the Republicans understood that basic concept.
Agreed.
I'd add that it's time Republicans understood that those they're seeking to appease, still won't vote for them. Whether it's "more moderate" votes on abortion, or gay marriage, or (right now) ObamaCare ... pandering to Dems will not gain them any Dem votes, so long as they're running as a Republican.
They might as well govern to the right, and retain what votes they have, rather than succeed at losing all of them.
I'm amazed that so many RINOs just haven't figured that out yet.
