“There’s a big difference.”
Not really. It is called kicking the can down the road. Politicians are experts at it.

Ted Cruz promised to be a different kind of pol. There's been quite a bit of poli-speak from him lately. A few weeks ago, it was something he "intended" to do. Last week, it was a statement about gay marriage that was a little bit of all things to all people. Then there's the very mainstream political, even above the norm, aggressive campaign donation solicitations over the holidays.
No, I don't think Cruz has joined the dark side. But maybe he needs to take a few days away from it all, especcially away from advisors who are influencing his decisions and campaign.
