Some times you must think out side the box. Cruz could not stop this event from happening only delay it for at least a little more than a day. When Obama Care starts to change their lifestyles and effects their incomes, maybe just maybe we might see change.
One positive I would take away for this is that the Democrat template that the public would automatically put 100% of the blame on Republicans did not come to pass.
Was more like a 55-45 split from what I can see. The tactic is on the verge of playing itself out. Notice how hard Obama had to work to produce temporary downward spikes in the Dow to try and prove his point.
