At least Trump states it honesty and clearly,
All the rest say they would never shut down the government, when at the same time some of the same are calling for it on TV and talk radio.
We were all supposed to claim the same, that we were all for a shutdown, but Cruz was against one, but we support him for shutting it down...???
Too complicated.
I know. This is why people are sick of all politicians and want a non-pol running. I understand the point Cruz wanted to make, and thought it totally wrong, tactically, effectively, and symbolically. Attaching anything to any bill-—highway or otherwise-—smacks of “more inside Washington” stuff to voters.
