I watched Cruz’ interview with Bob Sheiffer just last week.
It was going as well as can be expected, but then sheiffer said, “you made a big mistake shutting down the government”, same talking points as Jay Leno’s.
No, “you were right about this Obamacare deal, you’re really taking care of the citizens, at least in Texas”. No, “I don’t like you, and you and you know why”.
Senator Cruz said, “I didn’t shut down the government. We have to take care of the money in government, the president shut down the government, choosing to not take no, you can’t have more of our childrens’ money, for an answer”.
Sheiffer shut him down so fast it was brutal, with, “that’s what Speaker of the House Boehner claims. He say’s you made a mistake”.
If Cruz says, “game on”, anyone blaming him is a coward. Someone has to preserve this country for our children.
Boehner sure isn’t. He’ll end up sorry, or we will. One or the other.
It’s called leadership, something that is completely foreign to Boehner and his cronies.
A half dozen more Ted Cruzes and maybe we’d have a chance.
On behalf of all us Texans, we accept kudos for foisting Ted onto DC.
Still makes us mad thinking about the wasted years when Kay Bailey occupied that Senate seat.
We all thought Cornyn was conservative until Cruz showed us what a true conservative really acted like. Now we wish to ditch him too.
Now if the other states would follow suit....
Cruz in recent weeks has undermined Boehners approach on both immigration and the debt limit
Thank you Mr Cruz for standing for the American people!
It might not have been so ill-fated, if Republicans like Simpson hadn't trash talked the conservatives in Congress, joining the already willing media.
