Democrats are Communists. Trevor Loudon knows the score. Keep pounding them.
Ted Cruz isn't going to broadcast this, but I will: there is a strategy designed specifically for the 24/7 news cycle, i.e. the MSM cannot stick with a storyline for more than 3 days.
In short, the media mantra has been, the "Ted Cruz Government Shutdown." The sheer weight of the evidence is collapsing all around Obama and the Democrats: park closures, unwillingness to negotiate, etc.
While Cruz gets it, the GOPe doesn't...they're running around trashing Ted and the people that put them in the majority in the House...the Tea Party.
A few more days, and the narrative will change, so long as we keep the pressure on the GOPe to stand firm. The media is becoming exhausted in their attempt to prop up the Obama Administration. The Average American knows bull$hit when they see it, and they're seeing it 24/7.
The Average American doesn't care a whit about a "clean CR", particularly when the House sends to the Senate bills to fund the VA and keep the parks open.
